“1985” is a standout track off J. Cole’s highly-praised new album, KOD. The record, which Cole World recently confirmed wasn’t a diss to rappers like Lil’ Pump, now gets the remix treatment. Adding his classic touch, DJ Premier gives the song a new song and renames it “1966.” “I bought J. Cole’s KOD LP as soon as it dropped with no warning to the fans; which I too am a fan. ‘1985’ resonated with me immediately, so I asked Cole if I could get the Acapella and do an underground DJ version just for fun. He sent it and I just pieced some stab samples to keep it on some boom bap shit. Here it is!,” says Preemo.
