Christina Aguilera surprised a rap producer by asking for him to collaborate on her new album. DJ Premiere has worked with Notorious B.I.G., KRS-One, Jay-Z, Nas and Jadakiss, but did not expect the pop singer to know who he was. Premiere produced five songs for Aguilera’s Back to Basics album, which should be out this June:
“It was kind of a shock because I was like, ‘How the hell does she know about me?'” Premier told Billboard about his first conversation with RCA about Aguilera’s album. “I’m one of those guys that really doesn’t expect pop artists to really be up on me. My first question was, ‘What does she know about me?'”
As it turned out, Aguilera was quite a fan of his production style on classic Gang Starr material like “Jazz Thing”.
