Yesterday (April 21), we lost a true pioneer and a musical genius. The news of Prince’s death came out of nowhere and much like his music, artists and fans have taken the time to express what the legendary singer meant to them.

DJ Premier celebrated Prince’s life and legacy with a paid tribute as only Preemo can with an hour-long livestream mix via his Facebook page.

The hip-hop veteran added “I want to salute one of the greatest artists in the world, the artist known as Prince. The guideline that shaped me musically consists of approximately ten people, James Brown, Michael Jackson and Prince are all equally my number ones; it’s a three way tie. Because of Prince, I will take any dare and survive the dare! My manager Ian threw the idea (for the tribute mix) at me late last night and I said let’s do it; so we plugged in and did it (real DJ’s do real things)! I should’ve done three hours instead of one. It was unscripted and unrehearsed, but the outcome obviously touched my soul and I hope it does the same for you. Rest In Purple Prince.”
