Gang Starr remain one of hip-hop’s most admired acts ever, the duo’s legacyis nothing short of legendary in terms of influence. DJ Premier and Guru,the duo’s respective producer/bombastic scratcher DJ and lyricist/MC, setstandards for early-’90s hip-hop valid up to the present day with their twotouchstone releases: Step in the Arena (’91) and Daily Operation (’92). GangStarr is contemporary rap music’s greatest purveyor of pure, undilutedsounds that still rock parties with soul, creativity and integrity. DJPremier has become one of New York’s most demanded producers, crafting hitsfor the city’s finest MCs: the Notorious B.I.G., Nas, Jay-Z, KRS-One… andJanet Jackson! Guru, the velvet-voiced ‘king of monotone’ from Jazzmatazz,provides the beats with intelligent, street savvy lyrics in a deadlybraggadocio. Their current 7th album, The Ownerz, featuring ghettocelebrities such as Snoop Dogg and Fat Joe, proves that Guru and Premierhaven’t lost an ounce of chemistry in their 14 years together!
