If you don't know anything about D&D studios, do me this justice and just kill yourself...not now but right now. I know there's been a rack of studios where classic albums have been recorded (Green Street, Daddy's House, Battery, Chung King, Baseline) but the one that always stood out to me was D&D. That's 9 times outta 10 cause it's the house that Primo built and by Preem being one of my fave producers it's only natural that D&D would be the spot that stood out to me. And it doesn't end with Preem cause one of my other fave producers Da Beatminerz also called D&D home. So, not only were all of the Gang Starr Foundation albums recored here but all of the Boot Camp Click's albums were recorded here too and between those two crews, I was good money with D&D! Not to mention everybody from Nas, Jay Z and Rakim to Big L, DITC and KRS have all called this place home! One of my dreams was always to record at D&D but with everything in NYC but the Bronx Zoo being turned into condos and with the building that houses D&D falling prey to the condos bug too, I guess that dream ain't gonna come true. So with D&D/Headquarterz finally closing their doors ya'll already know I had to throw a mix together with some of my favorite songs recorded at D&D to salute one of the most important landmarks in hip hop!
