Legendary rap artist Keith Elam, p/k/a Guru (of Gangstarr) passed away on Monday (4/19) after a lengthy battle with cancer at the young age of 43. Guru’s recent manager, Solar, expressed his condolences in the following statement: “The world has lost one of the best MCs and Hip-Hop icons of all-time — my loyal best friend, partner, and brother, Guru.

This is the first song I’ve heard from Wooh Da Kid from Gucci Mane’s 1017 Brick Squad… It’s pretty good. I can hear it playing in Magic City or Strokers in Atlanta. Anyways, as an added bonus it features Muffy… shout out to Muffy (check out her other music, it’s dope).
