...Primo , of Attic , Ferrari , West Add Radio , Knockout , and Mods vs. Rockers fame and lived to tell the tale I met Primo a couple of years ago when we were both waiting tables at a small restaurant near The Castro. I resented the job because I knew that every hour I spent working meant an equal amount of time away from writing. As a...

From Gang Starr to to Freddy Fox to Jay-Z to Nas to Christina Aguiluerra and way too many to name, Primo has and will always be the the God equivalent to Dre With all that being said lets take a hypothetical situation. Lets say you...

...Primo hadn't yet perfected the boom-bap that he is best known for today (well, that, and his recipe for oatmeal chocolate chip cookies). I chalk that up to Primo still getting used to living in Boston after being born and raised in Houston, TX; climate changes are a mother fucker. Guru also doesn't sound quite as confrontational as he does...

...Primo production, but this song marks the first appearance of M.O.P. associate/weed carrier Teflon, which should count for something 4. NEW JACK CITY (FEAT TEFLON This isn't bad. Primo's beat is much more melodic than anything from To The Death , and its short length is perfect for my attention span and, I'd bet, the attention span of some...

...Primo to give up their day jobs and purchase private islands and elephant butlers, it sold more than their last effort, Step In The Arena (which had actually sold more than their debut, No More Mr. Nice Guy ), so their career was maturing nicely, and the critical acclaim for their hit singles helped convince the duo that they had more to...

...Primo sleeping with Jeru's sister, whom I cannot actually verify existence Regardless of the facts, Jeru broke apart from the crew that essentially raised him from a young pup, and decided to venture out on his own.
