UpNorthTrips is proud to present to you all, alongside our brothers at NahRight The Making of Hard to Earn with DJ Premier. 

Earlier this week our dude Dan Isenberg (@StanIpcus)  had the utmost privilege and honor of sitting with Primo at Headquarterz Studios (formerly D&D Studios) to talk in-depth about the creation of Gang Starr’s classic fourth album, and break down each of its songs track-by-track. 

We figured it was only right to provided yall with an original mix from our in-house DJ, The Vinylcologist (@TheVinylcologist) titled Hard to Earnstrumentals. The mix goes beyond highlighting the beats and samples on Hard to Earn, as over half of the album's instrumentals we're deconstructed and re-workings by Vinyl himself. In true UpNorthTrips fashion, we provided a dope collection of ill throwback pics and images to accompany the interview from our vaults.

If you know me well, you’d know that this man right here is my DJ idol and one of my biggest DJ influences. To have the opportunity to rock along side DJ Jazzy Jeff at the Magnificent Headquarters was truly an honor and a dream come true. Thank you Jeff and Lynette for making my birthday one for the books. Shout out to the Mag Mob for keeping the chat on fire! Love and appreciate you guys!

“Bottled Up Lust” rides a velvet-thick groove where heat rises and time melts. Tick-tock hats, rubbery bass, and smoky keys coil around a hook that pops like a pressure valve funk under pressure, sensual and a little dangerous.
