Boom bap meets Medellín again, with Lil Supa on the verse and a video out now.
One of the best cross-genre pairings around is back. DJ Premier and Colombian star Feid performed a medley at the 27th Latin Grammy Awards in Las Vegas, with Divino, Baby Ranks and Lil Supa. They then released ‘Bello Love’, featuring Lil Supa, with a video on Friday 13 November, according to the release announcement.
It’s their second record together. The first, ‘Le Pido A DIOS’, was nominated for Best Rap/Hip Hop Song at the 24th Latin Grammys, and they performed it at the 2023 ceremony in Seville. The Hype Magazine and DJ Premier’s own blog both carry the new video.
Preemo is quick to share the credit. ‘I must credit my keyboardist Carlos Homs and producer Marco Polo, who created the sample that I converted into another Boom Bap Banger!’ he said.
The single is out on TTT (To The Top), the independent label Premier runs with Ian Schwartzman.
Why this matters: Hip-hop and Latin music keep borrowing from each other. Preemo is proof that a 90s New York sound still travels.
