Gangstarr. For me the name alone invokes the rhymes of Manifest, Positivty and No More Mr.Nice Guy married with a fresh pair of butter timberlands boots.
Yesterday I had to chuck the stilettos, throw on my timbos and stomp around the yard for nostalgia’s sake.
Guru split ways with DJ Premier several years ago. It was a sad day in hip hop when Gangstarr broke up.
When I heard the news I was like damn! First the Fatboys break up, now this.
In 2004 Guru hooked up with super producer Solar and formed 7 Grand Records.
Since then the dynamic duo has released several of Guru’s Jazzmatazz series:
2007’s Jazzmatazz The Mixtape: The Timebomb (Back To The Future) and my favorite, 2005’s Version 7.0: The Street Scriptures.
Peep the Money, Power, Influence track off of that album with Guru, Jean Grae and Talib Kweli and you’ll see what I mean.
Currently Guru and Solar are on tour promoting the Back To The Future album.
Tune into this Fridays’ show to hear more about 7 Grand Records, other exciting current projects and the rare opportunity to hear from a legend in the hip hop game.
