Payday was the first record label to sign Jay Z, releasing his first single “In My Lifetime” in 1995. Patrick Moxey, who is the President and Founder of Ultra Records, Ultra Music and Ultra International Music Publishing, originally formed Payday Records in New York City in 1992. “Our Streets” is available now, and is the first song released by the newly relaunched Payday Records. ![]() “Ferg just automatically said 'Don't do what I've been doing on my albums - I want you to do a Preemo style and let me show I can rap to that,' so I was like 'let's do it.' Everybody was happy off jump - no suggestions, no 'I think we should go this direction' - it was an automatic in, out, done, in one day." "With Ferg, or anybody I work with, they already know my history so they know that I come from the 90s era” DJ Premier said. Just knowing I was working with him pushed me as an MC.” “Preemo has worked with all the NYC hip hop icons and greats - Nas, Biggie, Guru, Hov, KRS-one, and The Lox. “It's a dream to be able to work with the legendary DJ Premier on this record” stated Ferg. ![]() The song marks the first time the legendary DJ and rap star have worked together, despite both being prominent figures of the New York hip-hop scene for years. “Our Streets” is a true New York hip-hop track, combining DJ Premier’s signature beats and A$AP Ferg’s versatile style to create a classic, raw and energetic sound. DJ Premier is reunited with former Gang Starr manager Moxey as the first artist to release music on Payday Records. “Our Streets” is the first song released by hip-hop and EDM pioneer Patrick Moxey’s newly relaunched record label. Just hours after the relaunch of Payday Records, the iconic record label has released its first song “Our Streets” featuring legendary producer DJ Premier and A$AP Ferg, which is available today via digital retailers everywhere. In addition to Royce, JMSN and DJ Assault, the 12 track LP also boasts features from Denaun Porter, Elzhi, Ronnie McNeir and more, and will be available in all formats (CD, vinyl, and stream/download), via Fat Beats Records. “True” represents a musical journey of so much that Michigan has to offer the world, and it’s one hell of a way to get ready for RSXGLD’s impending release.Ĭheck out the track, and head over to the retailer of your choice to pre-order ‘RSXGLD,' which drops this Friday, Nov 03. You may know Assault for being one of the forebearers of the electro-dance sub-genre of Ghettotech, and he brings that sound straight to the beat on here for track’s second half. “True” hits especially hard because of its musical elements, too, which are brought through the immaculate work of 14KT and guest DJ Assault. As Nickel-Nine raps at the end of his bars, “A n***a had negatives but my positive just gon’ have to outweigh it/ N***a, I’m just happy I made it.” And on their verses, Ro and Royce detail their respective come-ups and all they’ve been through to get to where they are today. ![]() JMSN, who appeared on lead single “I Believe,” sings his heart out on the chorus that pushes us all to leave the past behind us. There’s a deep and potent weight to the track, which stems from RSXGLD’s self-titled album, and it permeates through each element. Before their much anticipated debut album arrives this Friday, RSXGLD (Ro Spit & 14KT) connect with fellow acclaimed Michigan natives Royce Da 5’9” and JMSN for a soulful new single, “True.” ![]()
