One of the most important DJs and producers in the history of hip hop, the legendary DJ Premier accepting the Milestones Award in September 2006 at Berklee, the first school to fully embrace the turntable as a musical instrument (in 1994). The Milestones Tribute honored many of the living legends who developed or shaped hip hop in the early days and golden era. DMC was on hand to honor the late Jam Master Jay of RUN-DMC. Quite an evening. I was lucky to get a press pass to the cover the event.
note: One of these DJ Premier photos was used by artist/curator Tewodross Melchishua in the M3 (MCs, Mics & Metaphors) Exhibit at the Gallery at Flashpoint in DC.
over the next couple months, I'll be posting a bunch of old concert photos. A summer project as it were. Here's the first batch
