DJ Premier partnered with Stephen Webber, a professor and conductor at the
Berklee College of Music, who taught him how to conduct the 58-piece
Berklee Symphony Orchestra you hear on the track. The one you hear is the
"wild" version (recorded without the metronome in their headphones)
DJ Premier conducted himself. Then he brought the instrumental back home to NY
and Nas laid down his rhyme on top of it.
