New Video: Torii Wolf "Big Big Trouble" (Produced by DJ Premier)


TORii WOLF’S DJ PREMIER PRODUCED DEBUT ALBUM ‘FLOW RiiOT’ WILL BE RELEASED ON 9-29-17
 Vibe Premiere

Thanks to her sultry voice, range and musicality, Torii has enjoyed a precipitous rise.  Leading up to her solo-debut, Torii has already premiered music with Pitchfork, Complex, Pigeons & Planes, Mass Appeal, Vibe & Okayplayer and been tapped for Vevo’s “dscvr” series (past alumni include Sam Smith, Alessia Cara, Tove Lo, Hozier & DNCE).
With an iconic producer who has a habit of producing and contributing to classic projects manning the boards, Torii Wolf & DJ Premier’s forthcoming collaborative union bum-rushes the walls of genres, age and expectations to let the world know a Flow Riiot is upon us.
“Produced By DJ Premier.” From Gang Starr, The Notorious B.I.G, Jay-Z, Nas, Dr. Dre, Kanye West, Mos Def, Common, Mac Miller, Snoop Dogg, Cee-Lo Green, The Game, KRS-One, Ludacris, Joey Bada$$ and his most recent vehicle; PRhyme (with Royce 5’9”); over the course of twenty-five trendsetting years, those four words have become synonymous with the cornerstone of hip-hop’s sound.
However, “Preemo” as he’s affectionately known, has always been a conduit for artists of all genres to affix their lyrics to his complex rhythms—D’Angelo, Janet Jackson, Miguel, Anderson .Paak, Lion Babe, Macy Gray, Neneh Cherry, Maroon 5 & Christina Aguilera (which his work won a Grammy for) to name just a few. Throughout it all; Grammy’s, Platinum & Gold plaques, undeniable icon status, Premier has orchestrated a sound that remains a hallmark of positive and advanced music.
While Preem has previously collaborated with fellow iconic female artists, in none of the aforementioned examples has he taken the reigns to not only produce the bulk of the material, but too also serve as executive producer.  With a resume like Premier’s it takes a lot to get his attention---and perhaps more importantly; his respect.
 “Creating a visual for this record was very special for me.  It was really important to visually emulate the juxtaposition of love and lust in an animalistic way” Torii commented to Vibe.  “The way that a female spider eats their lover is similar to the feeling of being lustfully consumed by another human.  The video both conveys and captures the underlying emotion of knowing that you’re going to catch your prey before they do; and knowing what you’re capable of doing to them.”
“Big Big Trouble” is a song that was created after we were already “done” with the album” DJ Premier stated.  “I started playing around with the “Uh-Oh” scratch, which set a foreboding tone; you know “Trouble” is coming!  Torii immediately gravitated to it.  The Papoose scratch made it all complete for the lyrics to spill onto the track.”
Torii Wolf’s debut solo-debut, Flow Riiot, will be released on 9-29-17 via DJ Premier’s TTT (To The Top) imprint.
