Gang Starr’s DJ Premier and Wu Tang Clan’s RZA, two producers who are responsible for roughly 99% of all skate video soundtracks, are set to battle on Instagram Live this weekend. (Swizz Beatz announced the event last night.) These musical masterminds have influenced countless DJs over the past three decades and have created a cultural ripple effect that is still being felt in skateboarding today.

Duck seazon kicks off this Saturday at 6pm PST on Premier’s Instagram. Check out a few examples of their work used in past skate videos below:
