Noisemakers with Peter Rosenberg featuring DJ Premier
The TONY Blog 
The Cypher Band Igmar(Trumpet),Louis(Bass),Borham(Keys),James(Sax),Daru (Drums) and Rob Swift of Executioners (Cuts) preform 3 sets of Premo Classic's.
Keeping things going before, after and during the talk was Igmar Thomas and the Cypher who, with some help from Queens turntable-whiz Rob Swift, performed instrumental interpretations of some of Premier’s most recognizable beats, including Group Home’s “The Realness,” Jeru tha Damaja’s “Come Clean” and Biggie’s “Kick in the Door.” I’ve heard a few bands do spot-on covers of hip-hop instrumentals before (Brooklyn’s El Michels Affair, who has been working on a long rumored Wu Tang cover album; The Roots; Ghostface pals, the Rhythm Roots All-Stars) but I have to say these guys were on a whole different level. Their version of Nas’s “NY State of Mind” immediately after the Q&A session was so convincing, I had to look on stage to make sure Rob Swift wasn’t playing the vinyl.—Jesse Serwer
This was a dream come true for me -- Daru Jones

Daru: Spirit Drumz Chapter 1 [kiotd]
We featured Daru a while back when he dropped what I call his Hip Hop gospel project called Good Nuzic. Unlike KRS-One's attempt at going spiritual, Good Nuzic was literally some of the best feel good music I've ever heard. He never compromised his underground roots -- he didn't go "rock" with it (as is the trend these days) and he didn't come with preachy intellectual jesus songs like KRS-One -- yet he managed to elevate the project to this level that just makes me smile whenever I listen to it.
He's recently released another project, this time an instrumental one called Spirit Drumz Chapter 1. More Daru coming today, he has a lot of new stuff out..
