Er gilt als einer der einflussreichsten und wichtigsten Produzenten des Hip-Hop der amerikanischen <a href="Eastcoast_Hip-Hop" class="mw-redirect" title="Eastcoast Hip-Hop">Ostküste</a>.
</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Biografie">Biografie</h2></div>
<p>Nach dem erfolglosen Versuch mit seiner alten Gruppe ICP einen Plattenvertrag zu bekommen, lernte der aus <a href="Houston" title="Houston">Houston</a>, <a href="Texas" title="Texas">Texas</a> stammende Premier (damals noch als <b>Waxmaster C</b> bekannt) im Jahr 1988 den <a href="MC_(Hip-Hop)" title="MC (Hip-Hop)">MC</a> <a href="Guru_(Rapper)" title="Guru (Rapper)">Guru</a> über das gemeinsame <a href="Plattenlabel" class="mw-redirect" title="Plattenlabel">Label</a> <i>Wildpitch Records</i> kennen. Die beiden beschlossen, nach Brooklyn zu ziehen und bildeten das erfolgreiche Hip-Hop-Duo <a href="Gang_Starr" title="Gang Starr">Gang Starr</a>.
</p><p>Produzierte DJ Premier anfangs ausschließlich für die eigene Gruppe, verschaffte ihm sein markanter Stil schon bald beachtlichen Respekt in der Szene. Er wurde schließlich zu einem der gefragtesten Produzenten des Underground-Hip-Hop der <a href="1990er" title="1990er">1990er</a> und arbeitete mit Künstlern wie <a href="Group_Home" title="Group Home">Group Home</a>, <a href="Jay-Z" title="Jay-Z">Jay-Z</a>, <a href="Jeru_The_Damaja" class="mw-redirect" title="Jeru The Damaja">Jeru The Damaja</a>, <a href="KRS-One" title="KRS-One">KRS-One</a>, <a href="M.O.P." class="mw-redirect" title="M.O.P.">M.O.P.</a>, <a href="Afu-Ra" title="Afu-Ra">Afu-Ra</a>, <a href="Nasir_Jones" class="mw-redirect" title="Nasir Jones">Nas</a>, <a href="Notorious_B.I.G." class="mw-redirect" title="Notorious B.I.G.">Notorious B.I.G.</a>, <a href="Mos_Def" title="Mos Def">Mos Def</a>, <a href="Gary_Grice" class="mw-redirect" title="Gary Grice">GZA</a>, <a href="Talib_Kweli" title="Talib Kweli">Talib Kweli</a> oder <a href="Rakim" title="Rakim">Rakim</a> zusammen.
</p><p>In seinen Produktionen verwendet Premier häufig <a href="Jazz" title="Jazz">Jazz</a>-, aber auch <a href="Funk_(Musik)" title="Funk (Musik)">Funk</a>- und <a href="Soul" title="Soul">Soul</a>-<a href="Sampling_(Musik)" title="Sampling (Musik)">Samples</a>, was ihnen anfangs den Aufdruck <a href="Jazz-Rap" title="Jazz-Rap">Jazz-Rap</a> verlieh, den er selbst jedoch nie übernahm.
