DJ Premier & Eternia "Live From HeadQCourterz" (9/10/10)


On September 10, 2010, Eternia was the special in-studio guest at DJ Premier's Sirius radio show, Live From HeadQCourterz. She was joined by producer MoSS via telephone, who together with Eternia formed the group Eternia & MoSS for their Fat Beats Records release, At Last, in 2010. The LP was voted by DJ Premier at #17 on his Top 25 albums of 2010. While at the show, DJ Premier and Eternia discussed her come-up in Toronto, broke down her influences, the content of the album and Premo cut up several of the tracks on air. In the audio below, I've included the bulk of their interview, as well as the various tracks he played throughout the night, which also included Joell Ortiz, Termanology, Dynasty, and more. There were a few call-ins aside from MoSS, who gave shout-outs and answered trivia questions. MoSS discussed the scene in Toronto, record digging, how he's a bit of a recluse and technology and social media aren't his best friends! Oh yeah, and I was there ... a bug on the wall, just sitting back, enjoying the accomplishment of making it up to DJ Premier's show and seeing firsthand how much of a supporter of the music and the culture he is, and how he does it with so much class! Much respect to DJ Premier and Panchi of the NYG'z, who was his co-host and one of the wittiest and most clever cats alive. Some additional takeaways from the interview are how Premo discusses the soul and feeling of music, and essentially how music has to make you feel and pull at your heart. He continues to keep hip-hop alive and adds his unique brand of funk, knowledge and experience to the music! Salute, Premo, and thank you to Eternia for trusting me as her manager. This was certainly a proud day, and one to check off my bucket list...
