Buckshot (feat. KRS-One & DJ Premier)

About Buckshot (feat. KRS-One & DJ Premier)

Macklemore has previously gone into his past in graffiti, but he dedicates the entirety of “Buckshot” to his teenage hobby. Appropriately, he collaborates with KRS-One, who was a graff writer before he was an MC. The song also features renowned hip-hop producer DJ Premier, who provides the scratches. The syncopated bass line/piano lick in “Buckshot” is very similar to the prominent line in the beat of Nas’s “N.Y. State of Mind”, which DJ Premier produced in 1994. .
