On November 1, Gang Starr released its first album in more than 16 years. DJ Premier carefully crafted sounds around some previously unreleased vocals from Guru. In the autumn, Heads got two singles before One Of The Best Yet, the album which was later named to Ambrosia For Heads‘ Best Of ’19 list. The first single, “Family And Loyalty,” featured J. Cole in a way that bridged generations and showcased Gang Starr’s impact. The second preview, “Bad Name,” was the tried-and-true Guru and Premier formula, updated for 2020. The song later became a video starring Guru’s son, Keith Casim, paying tribute to his late father.
Heads are now getting the official remix, which features Redman and Method Man. As always, Red’ n’ Meth’ bring energy to the track right from the top. Then, they drop respective verses after Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal. DJ Premier adds new scratches to his fiery beat as well as his juggle of Edo G.’s mahogany vocal. Preemo laced “Sayin’ Something” nearly 20 years ago, the song that gave the Gang Starr song its title.
