Torii Wolf may be a brand new name, but she’s introducing herself alongside one of the biggest producers in hip-hop. The Los Angeles singer-songwriter is preparing to release her debut album Flow Riiot in the near future, which will be entirely produced by DJ Premier. Today, she’s sharing the first single “1st” which samples lyrics from Dilated Peoples’ “Good As Gone,” a song that Premo originally produced.
DJ Premier said:
“Torii has such a weird, wicked style. It’s just very left field—reminiscent of a Björk or something like that. She is so unique and versatile; she writes, sings, and is an accomplished guitarist and drummer. But image-wise, there is no comparison. Subject-wise, Torii is in a whole different place.”
Premo is no stranger to working with singers, of course, having produced for the likes of Christina Aquilera and Yuna.
