DJ Premier ft. Nas and The Berklee Symphony Orchestra :: “Regeneration” (Video & MP3)

While the rest of the web seems obsessed with the as-yet-unheard and surely unholy collaboration between Skrillex and the remaining members of The Doors from the new film Regeneration, another star of the film, DJ Premier, let’s us hear what happens when a beloved producer works with an uncommon musical partner.
