RIP Guru 1 Year Today

One year ago one of my favorite rappers of all time passed away. That morning a year ago when I woke up I reflected on how the dude’s career and artisanship had impacted me as an artist, as a kid, as a fan of not just his but of all music. I’m truly thankful for his contribution to my life, straight up.

During the Redbull 3 Style event at Southpaw last year I was joined on stage by my homeboy the legendary Greg Nice. We did a completely impromptu tribute set to the late great Guru for the crowd, which I all had forgotten until someone posted this video up on the Twitterverse last night. Hope you enjoy it
