The re-launched Payday has five new signees: Pell, OJ Da Juiceman, Yung Fume, Gloss Gang, and Premier. The Harlem born artist’s first release under his new contract will be the iTunes single version of the hit track Work. During its heyday, the company put out important music by artists like Yasiin Bey (via his early group UTD), Gang Starr affiliates Group Home and Big Shug, Jeru the Damaja, O.C., Showbiz & A.G., and WC and the Maad Circle. The label also gave a start to the career of none other than Jay Z, releasing Hov's pre- Reasonable Doubt single "In My Lifetime." The label was originally started back in 1992 by Patrick Moxey (who also, not coincidentally, managed Gang Starr). The song is the first release by a revamped version of the iconic record label Payday. ![]() The song premiered on Apple Music's Beats 1. Ferg fits right in over Primo's iconic sound and scratched hooks, and even fits in shout-outs to Premier's former group Gang Starr and its late vocalist Guru at the end of the track. "Our Streets" is the brand-new collab between the Hood Pope and the iconic producer, and it sounds as great as you would expect. In the latest indication that all that's old is new again, ASAP Ferg and DJ Premier have teamed up for a new song, to celebrate the return of an old, much-loved record label.
