Moment of Truth

The Moment of Truth: Guru/Gang Starr Life & Death Story by Solar At last the whole story is ready to be told... Boston born as Keith Elam, Guru—Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal—and his talents made him into an acclaimed rapper and producer, named by The Source as #30 of Top 50 Lyricists of All Time just for a start. He was an innovative pioneer in Hip-Hop jazz and a chart ruler during the late 1980's & 90's. Respected for both the work he accomplished as the founder of Gang Starr, and also his own critically successful solo projects like the Jazzmatazz Volumes, he was by all rights a star in the game. His lyrical gift spoke to an entire hip-hop generation, that would have heard even greater music from him had the worst of disasters not hit.

Once he was a sick man, he found himself vilified in the media and eventually unable to speak at all. At the center of this story is his producer, longtime friend, and business partner Solar who has finally come with his full version of the mysterious events surrounding Guru's final years and during his split with DJ Premier. It’s been over seven years since that time and the effects of it still linger. Rumors of everything from his sexuality to his mental state in his final days all hang around any Google search about Guru’s life and death. Solar is ready to clear both their names and free Guru's true legacy for his fans. Behind Guru's life, unfinished questions hang that sound like the background of a thriller. From mysterious murders around the Gang Starr camp, a seat-of-the-pants gun trial to police investigations and murder attempts on his own life. Not to mention the heated and very public war of words between Guru's family and Solar, who was appointed a medical proxy for the ailing rapper. This book airs Solar's controversial position in a life story about to have its final moment of truth.

On April 19th 2010 the world of hip-hop lost one of its greatest. Guru was not only a legend and pioneer, he was one of a very few to put the music above fame. Its about who was listening to his music and the messages inside of it, not selling records to gain profit and fame.

We're truly honored and privileged to present Guru, in one more "Moment Of Truth".
