DJ Premier dropped the inaugural Beats That Collected Dust in 2008, marking the inception of a series that would resonate with fans. With a storied career in the music scene, Premier had solidified his status as a go-to producer for icons of hip-hop like Jay-Z, Kanye West, Method Man, and the Notorious B.I.G.
This mixtape was a treasure trove of beats crafted by Premier for various artists but left unused. Its release garnered instant acclaim from listeners.
Following up in 2011 with Beats That Collected Dust, Vol. 2, Premier kept the momentum alive. And now, after more than a decade since its last installment, he surprises fans with Beats That Collected Dust, Vol. 3.

Premier expressed his fondness for unique releases, highlighting the distinctiveness of Beats That Collected Dust. He also emphasized his role in titling his projects, finding the name fitting for this series, which stands as an original expression akin to talk beds, freestyles, verse writing, and immersive listening experiences.
