I didn’t know that album even exists until you said it
That's because it doesn't, lol.
Preme and Pete announced it a few years ago, said they were doing it, did a few shows together promoting it..........and that was pretty much it. It's like the concept never even existed outside the interviews and shows.
Preme also talked numerous times about his own solo album and the guests he confirmed himself to have on it. Everyone from Snoop, to Boot Camp Clik, to Dr. Dre., to Nas. Mind you, this was barely 5 years ago. Not even talking about his solo album that was supposed to come out on Atlantic Records a few years after The Ownerz dropped. Or when he signed to Fat Joe's label and was supposed to drop it there. Or the solo album he was gonna release on his own label Year Round Records like 10 years ago.
This ain't to shyt on the GOAT DJ Premier or Nas by any means. Just to show that when industry cats float out all these ideas, there's huge chasms between the idea and the actual realization materializing. Preme and Nas both have been asked about their collabo album multiple times over the years. It's just not a priority for either of them for multiple reasons known only to them. Preme once said Nas told him he didn't wanna release it on Def Jam and wanted to do it indy. Nas's last Def Jam album dropped almost 10yrs ago, lol. And that's no different than the dozens of other hip-hop albums over the years that only exist in the pre-planning stage, were touted up by certain artists, and completely forgotten about or put on hiatus years later.
You'd think that these planned albums that we will never see due to artists passing away would put the battery in some of these dude's backs (Doomstarks, Madvillainy 2, Fab 5 album, Fisher Price (Rah Digga and Sean Price), The Pill (Ill Bill and Sean Price), A Tribe Called Kast (Outkast and ATCQ), etc.
Nobody is getting any younger on this planet.
