#43 | Gang Starr | One Of The Best Yet
To The Top/Gang Starr Enterprises

According to Jesse Ducker: “Most importantly, One Of The Best Yet feels like a Gang Starr album. Though Preemo has said most of the verses were originally recorded in the mid-’00s, nothing sounds dated. And Preemo crafts tracks that sound like Gang Starr beats, rather than tracks that he’d put together for his other collaborators. Like all the best “reunion” albums, it sounds like the type of album that the two would have recorded in 2019 if Guru were still alive. And it definitely makes you miss the chemistry that the pair shared.”
