HighFocusTV B) Greetings from Mexico!
we came up with this freestyle underground track your shows are full of energy always enjoyed them. bless
You guys need to work with Clanarchy (check him out on soundcloud)
Wasssup
ok
Getting a track produced by Primo is pretty much the hip hop equivalent to getting a knighthood, good fuckin work
Haha, very true.
more to the point... who leaf has produced for in the U.S is the reason leafs got the primo connection.. primo rates leafs beats so much hes happy to do this...
Anybody with a bird mask and their bankroll can purchase a Premo beat nowadays. Mediocre MC's get beats by Premo, and it's sad considering he's a legend and does awesome works with Royce and others.
Cee Kay
yh man my thoughts exactly, everybody hyping bout a bank transfer haha, end product's dope tho
Cee Kay
im happy to admit im wrong here, but i didnt think premo has worked with any other UK heads? who else , non high focus rapper.. in the UK has premo worked with.....and how many non High-Focus artists have a bird mask? surely the point is, premo is working with high focus and is choosing to do that as he respects leaf and the HF movement.. are you saying, literally any UK rapper could work / purchase a premo beat.. even the overly shit rappers like eddie vegas.. ?
This joint still sounds immaculate in 2024
Do they still make music?
@@baffledsquirrel2122 haven't heard anything in ages, it's all drill now it sucks 😞
@@baffledsquirrel2122 wish they would make new music
I found it in 2024! This group are really good! 🔥🔥🔥
masterpiece. ain't no rap like that in '24
DJ Premier is a genius. One of the best producers of all time in my opinion. Heard so many of his beats and they're all amazing
+Daniel S
Same man, Prem is a god,, listen to the Leaf Dog REmix of this tho (the first guy that raps), hate to say it but his beat owns this one.
It's a common opinion on the video im mentioning, look for yourself. And it's just that, an opinion. I happen to like leafs samples better. No need to be rude, champ.
leaf dogs not bad but his beat never owns this ...no chance never ever listen carefuly bro
I said "beat" before, technically its the same beat, different samples.
danHop no it isnt ... its 1. other drums 2. other samples 3. other beat... and for me preemos beat got more flow and groove than leaf dogs... this leaf dog beat sounds like the common shit u can find on youtube... i cant here any specific leafdog thing in his beat its like 1 of 10000000000
The Four owls are destined for greatness. Premo makes some of the hardest beats.
This track is fucking incredible!!! I'm a HUGE premo fan but this is the first time I'm hearing 4 Owls...I must say I'm VERY impressed by the flow, content, and delivery!!! We'll done guys and salute for repping tht real hip hop!!
hiphop is hiphop no matter the color of your skin or where your from if you got barz and a voice you should have the right to speak out artistically
Man you so wrong it does matter the color of your skin and were you come from hip-hop is the way black and brown kids that didn't have no rights living in the ghettos going to school's were they didn't care a but you or teach you nothing hip-hop was the way for black and Brown kids to come together as one and speak out about the injustice that this country we are from was doing to us only because of the color of our skin so you see it does matter hip-hop is not something you do just to be look you don't do hip-hop your hip-hop
Fredo Ace its injustice to restrict who can make music. Hip hop is a culture of life and struggle. Everyone has the right to lyrically rhyme their life and struggle. Just because your colored doesn't mean you're the only one who's had life hard. Don't create segregation in our beloved diverse culture of music. Want proof that color firs hip hop? Eminem claimed King of Hip Hop by colored old school legends themselves.
Colour (correct spelling)
Hip-Hop is black culture, and it's foundation and construct comes from black people in ghetto's nation-wide. But that doesn't mean it is exclusive to black people. Anyone who's got bars and can flow and keep it real deserves their chance to rhyme.
RAP = Rythm And Poetry. What else ?
"we are underground if you wanna feel it you´ll have to dig it"

"If you want to find it pretty you have to find it beautiful"
that's the kind of lyrical spiritual individual bullshit the world really needs more of ^^
👌🤙
And if you dig it you need to need it the grounds are hard... harder then what you know levels are built upon these floors before you can reap the rewards you must know the struggle before you know the rewards 2:13/6/8 copyright D'zus Ruckus add dem words of yours let's get it together or be left behind N.W.O
"We say yesterday not tomorrow, cause the aim is to set the pace not to follow!"
Ouff one of the hottest multi-syllabel rhymes I've heard in a while!
Only some are worthy of a premo beat. These guys totally qualify.
I just subbed to your UA-cam and you made me discover this group
+Vincent Nicosia wait how did I make you find this group
+Lizard_Score I was following your day boi meme account (Rest In Peace) and I saw you tagged your personal Instagram so I went to it and read your bio and saw you made UA-cam videos and I subbed and then watched one of your vid and this song was played and tada. These guys are on another level though
+Vincent Nicosia Damn that's some detective work. Nobody really actually reads my descriptions. The four owls are amazing. Listen to the natural order, which is their new album. Another great group from this label is "Contact Play" and "Dead Players". All really good groups, glad you found them. I have a really diverse taste in hip hop and do quite a lot of deep research into it because I just can't settle for stuff on the surface.
My favourite rap group is The Palmer Squares. Been repping them for ages.
Also go leave some questions on my new video. I'm gonna awnser them in two weeks when I come back.
what's a premo beat?
Respect from Greece guys thank you for this awesome performance last night in S.A.F!!!
#Greeceknows
Ποια χρονια ήταν δικε μου ;Και γτ δεν ειχα πάει;😛
Much respect to the hip-hop in UK. People will hate, it's dope af that they had the opportunity to collab with DJ Premier. To all you hip/hop is not in one country, it's within your soul!
truth
Nearly 2 million views! I remember when these guys were hardly known. Big big shout out to DJ Premier for giving such a dope beat for the UK to shine on :)
I don't give 2fucks about who's behind the masks.... This shit is fuckin craaaaazy. Mad love from Strong Island, NY
"We say yes today not tomorrow, cause the aim is to set the pace not to follow!!'' Dope!!
Fliptrix, VerbT, Leaf Dog n BVA killin it with dem dope lyrics..... Shoutout to DJ Premier as well
Premier is of Extraterrestrial Origins👽
After hate, all that's left is pain
So best think twice about yesterday
We say yes today, not tomorrow
Cuz the aim is to set the pace, not to follow
THA OWLS
Massive track !
Your a massive track! When are we getting another album!?
Holy shit
Just found yet another dope channel!
this joint is CRACK!
Dude wtf the real mouse outfit just complement these guys mouse outfit was the start to this kind of music for me there my hero
The homies from across the pond killed it.
"People will only think again if they have to
Like a nose job feeling the pain for face value"
That lyric is too sick
Premier is the 5th element of Hip - Hop! Since '87 not even wack production by legendary Christopher Martin, word is bond.
That Leaf, always comes with so much spirit when he flows. It's infectious--love it!
respect from greece
Lonnnnn
This song just made my top 500 rap songs of all time! This shit bangs hard! Primo on the beat.. The Four Owls kill shit!top notch
I probably listened to this joint 10 times street I've been peeping the UK Scene for awhile these cats must've slipped under the radar this bangs hard.
Jehst
STWCrew Chester P, Jam Baxter and Edward Scissortongue. (Jam and Ed are on HighFocusRecords same as The Owls are.)
check rhyme asylum
check out coops lost souls mixtape
Thanks fam I will definitely check that out I've always had an ear to the uk hip hop scene keeping it fresh out there
I was a little worried that I was expecting too much from a Four Owls Preemo collab, but they delivered. The lyrics are tight, the production's heavy, and the video's ill. I don't like using this phrase but from the songs that have been released so far, it's looking like Natural Order is gonna be an instant classic. I'm definitely buying it and I can't wait for the tour!
That beat is fucking cold omg
οποιος δεν ακουει high focus records ειναι κουφος Respect from Greece .Keep it real four owls
:-) polloi ellhnes edo
MrMcPot Ninja se katouraw sto stoma mr mc kapot
Kostas Fame τι να ακούσουν οι καπιταλαδες οι χαζοί

88binis88 ♡
in 40 years people will comment under this video, wishing they'd be born in the early 2000s to grow up with this. such fucking legends...
Verb T is consistent as fuck if you read this verbs youre a huge inspiration. Your style after all these years has only improved and keeps going forward
four owls go hard. and to have premo to produce this, that's insane. cuz they kill every beat
8 years ago?! time do fly like the four owls
High Focus is a growing light in a dying industry. keep it up lads
its crazy to see emcees from other countries with different accents, I enjoy seeing how they put their own personal spin on hip hop
In my opinion, this is one of the hardest beat Primo ever made!
Mad Respect from South Africa # Loveforhiphop boom bap
Broooooo, same here! They're mad good! Old earth!
SA Represent lol mad love
Thought I was the only one loving this dopeness up in here
Premo and the four owls! What a day for UK hip hop!
This shit's getting a lot of hate for some reason. These dudes are good, they provide some interesting variety, it's not everyday you see Premier work with some British cats. I thought they flowed well, and I thought that was a dope Premier Beat. Sure it wasn't one of his GOAT's, but this delivered that gritty east coast sound that Primo encompasses. The fact that Premier was interested in doing a beat for these guys says enough. They flowed well and are reppin the UK.
Bless ! Peace to you and yours !
word
yea the second cat ripped it they all when in but i like the second dude his bars where dope
Unknown in the U.K. Scene?? Haha who the fuck are you?! These guys ain't unknown . Uncommercial and under recognised maybe but for anyone digging a little deeper than a radio 1 playlist - these dudes have been heavy hitters for time. The four individuals on their own are big you ducking muppet.
***** You aint know shit about UK rap then....
I'm from Camden, NJ and my barber put me on to these dudes. Their authenticity cuts through. The UK equivalent of Slaughterhouse and I love the mask.
I wanna move to THE UK UNDERGROUND IS ALIVE....LISTEN TO THESE CATS ...FIRE
Verb T mvp on this for sure.
Beat is grimy as fuck, and lyrics just top it off perfectly, shout out from Denmark!
@ei39rk ??? he didnt say it was grime he said it was grimy.
One of the hardest hip hop vocals I have ever heard.
Yo UK hip-hop heads, no need to be insecure. This shit is raw, and the UK underground hip-hop scene is raw. Real hip-hop heads world wide recognize real.
to be honest I just discovered this Uk artits thanks to Premo, and they are very good!!!
the country from which the artists are born is not important because only talent should be appreciated :)
and theirs is excellent!!
this collaboration with the living god of Hip-Hop is a killing that I don't stop listening so much that it's good !!!!
Thanks to *THE FOUR OWLS* & *PREMO* for this amazing track!!!!
"Bars so fly they go over your head like bird’s eye view
So you need to think twice about the words I use
They’re confusing like doppelgangers in a parallel universe having deja-vu"
still some of the best shit ive heard in uk rap hands down
I'm still pumping it
This UK hip-hop sounds hard to this American. Wow. DJ Premier with the win again. Thanks fellows for bringing hip-hop back to its roots.
Fucking absolutely dope, gentlemen. When your first reaction is to laugh out loud in awe at how beautiful a sample is, and your body follows up with an immediate shiver, then you know you're listening to that REAL SHIT.
"...the aim is to set the pace, not to follow...". Verb T much respect.
“YO SEE ME ON THE TRACK MASKED UP LIKE I’M ROBBIN TRAINS!”
Absolute class in the first verse.
somehow, this is the no.1 of all my favorite premo beats
Really awesome to hear some new, REAL Hip Hop getting recognition.
DJ PREEMO AND FOUR OWLS ITS SO DEADLY COMBINATION WITH HIGH FOCUS! salute
That being said OMG WE GOT BARS FINALLY!!
Wow, UK MCs are bringing it. Weird masks, funky accent, no cars, no girls, no shiny shit...
JUST BARS! Now take all of that and add a U.S. bump, a BK-GangStarr bump, that neck-breaking-ghetto-walking bump. PRIMO BABY, Love High Focus but maaaaan,
UK might have the bars but USA baby... still got the beats! Good work!
Thx for keeping Hip Hop alive and oh yea, god bless the queen! ahahahah
coming from MONTREAL, CANADA. HEY FOUR OWLS!? COME ON AND VISIT OUR SIDE OF THE ATLANTIC! CHEERS
I have listen to hip hop for many years in the US, but I have never heard a group where every song is banging! Every artist in High Focus is HIGH caliber to the MAX. Sad for me to say but High Focus is shitting on a large percent of US artist. Listing to the Four Owls is where the US artist should have paved today! I’m a fan for real!
D-D-DAMN! I just recently heard about The Four Owls, and so far I must say I'm impressed!
And now a sick & well deserved collab with hiphop producer numba uno; Preemo!
Big up from Copenhagen!
The Four Owls and Premier! Nice
Primo puts everyone on... I love that
Seriously, this is frickin' beautiful... black and white people making glorious hip hop music together, no matter how much the Barack Obamas and BLMs of the world may be trying to separate us. And while that statement may be simplifying some of the issues involved, please don't underestimate the value of what I've just said. God bless my brothers and sisters of all colors and backgrounds!
Respect from Israel
To four owls and to DJ Premier
Sorry mate from 1948 this place called Israel and not PaLIEstin :)
B.W
Learn some history it wont hurt you at all
maybe you are normal person but seriously...Fuck your Zionist police state named Israel..most evil country ever after USA and North korea
StreetCliche K DEN
This is a sick track! Only heard about these guys a week ago and have listened to this one quite a many times. Respect from Finland
Abaut 8years listening..these guys are some extraspecial spice to the rapscene. Respect From Finland also :)
There has never been a blink of time I respected the Owls' lyrics more. Good job lads!
everyone like hiphop.i don't think hiphop is black culture.i am not a black girl.i like hiphop！！i am a chinese girl.keep moving，dude！我就喜欢说唱，说唱是世界流行文化！
Damn that Primo joint is fucking stupendous.
I'm diggin their English/accent flow, sounds dope.
And that's what it's about... originality and style, if people dig it they dig it, if they don't then they don't, you do you and don't front.
UK hip hop is alive!!!, US keep your eyes peeled!!!
Stepped over from split prophets to this guys ... it seems that the youtube algorythm works sometimes...
greetings from Berlin
DJ Premier + The Four Owls = dopeness!
Props from Australia for the chopper read reference.
Chuurr
aye bruh
Huge production! Solid verses from the owls particularly Fliptrix, damn that was tight!
High Focus knew they had to spice it up for Dj premier and they smashed it.
These are the greatest, holding it down for the UK 🗣🗣 first song was real smooth and it’s just home from there. Can’t wait to watch these g’s live
Could UK Hip Hop bbe more underrated
Most things get better with time but music is the opposite, the further back you go the better it gets RIP GURU
Now its 2022 where tf are the four owls
damn these guys are fire, glad i found them. props to the channel!
The UK is supporting real Hip Hop more than the US. Of course, these guys sound a little weird, but they have good lyrical content. I've made beats for 15 years, but I give Primo credit and I would still hire him to lay a track down for me.
The last guy killed it
verb t bro always fire
check out foggy eyes or where you find me
I'm from New England, USA and I bump Four Owls weekly 🔥🎯 Keep up the real shit y'all
Bumpin this in the 603 kiid
Can’t believe I’m just now discovering these dudes……I had to pause this song to comment because it’s impossible to listen to this and comment at the same time, that would mean the song is trash and this song is not trash this what Hip Hop needs again. The positive vibes, real lyrics and real artist. Hip Hop has no color you can be black, white, Asian, Indian or green it doesn’t matter just come with your own lyrics and real rap🙌🏾 Blessings to the Four Owls keep grinding and shinning👏🏾
Much Respect to the owls for this one, primo is royalty so u guys finally getting the props you deserve... imma try come up next watch out
Dope track I can't wait for the album bigs up the four owls
Hard in the paint! This preemo beat works amazingly well (as always), The bars are deadly!
This is for my money one of the hardest Premo beats of all time, and I've heard (and love) a LOT of them.
just gotta say its amazing to see one of the greatest of all time hip hop producers working with a english group that done us proud
big ups dj premier!! full on banger material
My taste of music brought me here 😌👌 Good music is still out there people! We just have to come together to spread the good vibes ✨
sry but seriously this group doesnt deserve all the hate. best elemental UK hip hop
At last, it was about that time!!!
Even 1,5 years ago this video had only 10.000 clicks or something like that.
Now it seems, the peeps pay tribute.
Flip really loves the word Pandemonium
Ed Scissor loves "monolithic"
This beat is fucking ill!
Said it once before and will say it again, the U.K is the beautiful discovered and undiscovered for music of the future. Really enjoying this track!
Yo these boys are motivating me. Four owls the most rn admit these guys need to be heard by more
The last guy was the best on the track.
Verb T's nice !
By far
7 años escuchando buena música gracias UA-cam Gracias The Owls
The four strigiformes soaring and flourishing over Premo beats beyond the streets ! ☮️
Damn. Absolute forgot this classic
2020 anyone?
Preemo hooked this up
wonder full pro. thanhk uploading
Crazy good production by Premier and great bars from these guys!
