At one point back in the day DJ Premier was signed to Terror Squad and was supposed to do a compilation project where he would produce records for various rappers on the album. His first record was going to be featuring 50 Cent during his mixtape dominance days when no one liked him for dropping “How To Rob” years earlier. Unfortunately, Fat Joe left the label and DJ Premier followed him out the door.
