Biography

Guru (also known as "Bald Head Slick") is one half of the legendary hip hop group Gangstarr. Guru, an acronym for Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal, originally began his hip hop career in Boston but due to lack of local support moved to New York where Gangstarr then blew up. Guru is well known for his smooth voice; socially conscious and hardcore lyrics; and an effortless, confident delivery. Founded in 1987, Gang Starr built a sizable following in the early 90's, releasing classic albums like, Step in the Arena (1991) and Daily Operation (1992).
