GURU (GANGSTARR & JAZZAMATZZ)
Sunday June 12th The Shores
As one half of rap outfit GANGSTARR, GURU was to early 90s rap what The Furious 5 were to the early 80s – an artist who could bridge the great divide between his underground roots and the mass market. His renowned JAZZMATAZZ series, a fusion of hip hop and jazz, has earned its place in the music collections of many. For Australia, the first stop in his first ever solo world tour, he will be supported by New York’s underground mix tape king DJ DOO WOP, and producer SOLAR, who Guru collaborated with on his first solo album, GURU V7.0 THE STREET SCRIPTURES, due for release in late June. For his Street Scriptures Tour GURU will bring a more personal style to audiences by performing in more intimate venues. Not only be will GURU be drawing from GANGSTARR and JAZZMATTAZZ, he will also be showcasing previously unheard tracks from his new album. Alongside him will be our own world class duo DELTA & STAEN 1, TERRA FIRMA, MINDFIELD, SHEP & DYEMS. Tickets available now from Venuetix, Clinic 116, B Sharp, Da Klinic and Area 101 for $45+bf
