Jay-Z Gifts DJ Premier ‘Reasonable Doubt’ Diamond Pendant for Album’s 25th Anniversary

,

JAY-Z’s 1996 debut album Reasonable Doubt celebrated its silver anniversary on June 25 and the Roc Nation mogul has been commemorating the milestone in a myriad of ways. Not only did JAY-Z release a non-fungible token (NFT) of the project, he also gifted 25 people who helped make the album possible with special diamond pendants.

DJ Premier — who provided production on “D’Evils,” “Friend Or Foe” and “Bring It On” featuring Big Jaz and Sauce Money — shared an Instagram photo last week. Boasting a handwritten note from Hov and one of the pendants sitting on top of a soundboard.
