Guru Guru was an American rapper, producer, and a founding member of Gang Starr. Born on July 17, 1961 in Roxbury, Boston, Massachusetts, he was of Trinidadian descent. He adopted the stage name "Guru," which stood for "Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal." With his unique style and lyrical prowess, Guru made a significant impact on the hip-hop scene.
Throughout his career, Guru collaborated with various artists and produced groundbreaking music that resonated with fans worldwide. His contributions to Gang Starr's success cannot be overstated as they helped shape the sound of East Coast rap during the 1990s.
Tragically, Guru passed away on April 19, 2010 in New York City at the age of 48. Despite his untimely death, his legacy lives on through his influential music and lasting impact on the genre. Fans continue to appreciate Guru's talent and recognize him as one of hip-hop's most gifted artists.

Formed in 1968 by drummer, singer and visionary Mani Neumeier, Guru Guru has been an institution for over five decades. Their own brand of “acid rock”, often labelled as krautrock, has played an important part in musical history, not only in their native Germany but the world over, especially in the USA and Japan. With an ongoing musical career of 54 years, over 40 albums, more than a hundred radio and TV appearances, they have performed over 5,000 live shows to date. What they brought to the stage in the 1960s may well have been seen as shocking. Fusing free jazz with rock’n’roll, Guru Guru experimented with Asian and African rhythms and styles, incorporating these into their own brand of psychedelic cosmic rock. The musicians lived under the same roof as a commune, enjoyed hallucinogenic drugs and shared their political views on a regular basis, reading out statements during performances. Their live shows were – and still are – experiences, with the band surprising audiences, for instance when they released live chickens into the respectable Grugahalle in Essen, Germany.
