"I write everyday," Premier says, "when something comes to me, I just pull out my notebook and write it down. I usually try to tell a story with a mix of flow and content. What I bring to the table is unique."

Through a connection he made at an AS220 hip hop show, he landed an audition with Chaos Co., a local rap crew. He had to freestyle on the spot to showcase his skill, let them know he was committed, then his slot in the group was made official. He's been working with them now for almost a year.

Premier talks about how it was different to transition from working as a solo artist to moving into a group dynamic. "I'll be told songs need to be done by deadlines, the titles will already be set, and other verses already recorded and I have to fit into that. It has taught me to be prepared for anything. There have been times I had to record a song a day before a performance." And he's been ready.

Between his solo work, which he recorded at the Delgado Studio, and the songs he has with his group, Premier has somewhere in the range of 40 tracks recorded. And there are also plans in the works to tour New England this summer, leaving in June, so keep an eye out for upcoming shows!
