Tomorrow marks the three-year anniversary of the passing of Guru from Gangstarr. In celebration of his life and out of respect, Marco Polo releases “G.U.R.U.” which features DJ Premier and the other half of Gangstarr, DJ Premier. The track also serves as a dedication to Guru’s memory and accomplishments in the music game. “G.U.R.U” is also the first official single from Marco Polo’s upcoming album PA2: The Director’s Cut which will be released to the public on July 2013. Check out what Marco Polo had to say about the track and Guru below.
“Tomorrow marks the three-year anniversary of the passing of the legendary G.U.R.U. of Gang Starr. I decided to this leak this record one day early to ensure DJ’s and everyone can have it ready for his anniversary and it can be played tomorrow. This is one of the most important records I’ve ever been a part of” states Marco Polo. “Thank you to Talib Kweli and DJ Premier for being a part of this incredible record! We will also be premiering the “G.U.R.U.” video very soon (which is directed by Todd Angkasuwan) so stay tuned. Please help share this record and celebrate the life of an artist who influenced myself and so many others in Hip-Hop and music period! R.I.P. Keith Edward Elam aka G.U.R.U.
