Listen to Westside Gunn and DJ Premier’s New Song “The Narcissist”

[Animous]

 

Musician and producer Brady Watt has released a new single with Westside Gunn and DJ Premier. Give a listen to the collaborative “The Narcissist” below.

“I cooked up this composition how I usually do, just jamming in the studio,” Watt explained in a statement. “I used three basses on this; my fretted, fretless, and upright.” Watt continued:

DJ Premier deemed it worthy enough to send to the one and only, Westside Gunn, who is and has been my favorite artist out for a minute now. Preem reached out to Gunn and he laced two verses, and the hook same night. I couldn’t even believe it. At first, I intended it to be a drumless joint (in Griselda fashion), but Preem insisted he put drums on it AND a classic scratch hook using vocals from none other than Benny the Butcher and Conway the Machine. This song really manifested itself, and I’m honored to have my name next to these titans. When the song was complete I then commissioned Jim Warren to hand draw an animated film based around the lyrics. It took him about five-months of STEADY work to complete it. I’m so glad we took the time to do it, because Westside Gunn is so heavy in the art world; it had to be next level to meet his standards.

DJ Premier stated:

This one was more of me listening to Brady’s direction and vision. I felt like it needed some drums for the DJ’s to blend into their mixes. In typical Westside Gunn fashion, the drums were kept out until the first verse, and hook were laid; so it could build up. I sprinkled in some outro scratches and it was sewn up. Visually, I was amazed at how accurately the video accurately depicts the lyrics.
