I don't know if these guys fit into the style which my blog promotes. Though, their music style was unique, combining elements of hip hop & New York Jazz, yet still possessing a gritty hood sound. Guru & Dj Premier hooked up after Premier sent Guru a beat tape. Talk about a lucky mother fucker. They went on to release 4 albums which were very successful in the alternative hip hop scene.
Some may say that Guru was a lot more successful without Premier, releasing Jazzmatazz and doing collaboration songs with artists such as Mos Def.
For this post, i will put up a few songs which are affiliated with Guru in some way. Hope you enjoy the smooth gritty beats, elusive lyrics and all round laid back feeling.
peace.
Mass Appeal- Gang Starr
Moment Of Truth- Gang Starr *My favourite song of all time.
Murder- Guru & Mos Def
Dwyck- Gang Starr & Nice & Smooth
