A few months ago, news surfaced that MC Eiht and DJ Premier will link up for a full length project. Things are getting concrete now as more information and music is starting to leak. The album will be called “Which Way Is West” and it will be released this summer through Premo’s Year Round Records.
According to the DJ Premier Blog, Marco Polo is getting in to produce some beats, and that NYGz will be featured on the album. It will be interesting to see how Eiht will sound with a heavily East Coast influenced sound, but if their previous collaboration “Ain’t Nuttin’ Changed (Remix)” with Blaq Poet & Young Maylay is an indication of what’s to come, then we’re more than good.
Check out the album sampler below (none of the songs are produced by DJ Premier). This sounds like they’re definitely going in the right direction with this one…
