DJ PREMIER AND ROC MARCIANO RELEASE FIRST COLLABORATIVE SINGLE “ARMANI SECTION”

“If it’s me and Preem, it’s a smash hit”!  The moment hip-hop fans have been eagerly anticipating is finally here: DJ Premier and Roc Marciano have teamed up for their first-ever collaborative single, “Armani Section,” which is now available at all DSP’s.

In the same vein in which DJ Premier has been responsible for leading and influencing the sound of hip-hop for decades, Roc Marciano has also earned his flowers for re-shaping how “underground” hip-hop has evolved over the years.  That’s why “Armani Section” is not just a cultural milestone, it’s a statement; a declaration that true luxury and authenticity in music never goes out of style, is never dated; and you can never have enough of it— and it sounds exactly like what you envision high-end luxury music for the masses embodying.

As the rush of hearing one of the most respected and innovative lyricists of his generation, teaming up with arguably the greatest hip-hop producer ever begins to set in, Marci seizes the moment, wastes no bars, and no time, his effortless slick talk detailing how he “bagged the cashier, wearing cashmere,” how you can’t stop time on the block, and sneaking in a barrage of jabs like Ali throughout both of his verses.  DJ Premier’s classic craftsmanship and innovation provides the canvas, and he digs deep into his bag to speak with his hands delivering one of his patented and elegant scratch choruses.

Though they previously collaborated on PRhyme 2, Marci guesting on “Respect My Gun,” this new union manifested due to some good old-fashioned retail therapy.  “True Story. Several years ago I was shopping at Macy’s in Herald Square and I was passing the “Armani Section,” when I see Roc Marci there and he asks me when are we gonna do a record together” Premier vividly recalls.  “I told him we would eventually get to it. Fast forward a few years later, right before Christmas 2024, I gave him a call and told him it was time to get to it.  I reminded him of that day, and he said that should be the title of the record.  The tone was officially set.”

“Armani Section” is gutter and expensive.  Everything you’d expect from a Preemo and Marci joint” Roc Marciano adds. 

“Armani Section” also happens to be a harbinger of things to come, as Premier and Marci will have more in store for fans later this year when they release their collaborative EP.
