Guru - Guru 8.0 Lost and Found

The iconic MC, Jazzmatazz creationist and Gangstarr founder Guru has announced the release of his brilliant new solo release, Guru 8.0 Lost and Found.

Guru has once again teamed up with NYC's brightest producer Solar to create his second solo album and what will be their fourth release on their label 7 Grand, which they co-founded in 2004. According to both Guru and Solar, it is to serve as an upgrade to contemporary Hip-Hop.

"It's necessary to get upgrades to keep real hip hop alive," explained the legendary MC. "The concept of real hip hop had gotten lost, but now it's found again on this record. 8.0 represents that next level growth." Guru 8.0 finds both MC and producer expanding stylistically, with songs like the Southern-inspired Fast Lane, or Divine Rule, which revisits hip hop's early days and finds Guru rhyming over a disco-inspired beat.

Staying true to form, the duo offer tracks like Best of My Years, which allows listeners to travel with Guru through his years of experience.

"This is the next evolution of intelligent hip hop; hip hop on the next level," said Solar. He added that the album is a sign of Guru's continued ability to command the hip hop arena.
