Guru reinvented is nothing nice so don't let the boyish, good looks fools you. This upgrade comes with 10 times the wit and the physical attributes to smoke stages across the globe. High-energy performances are nothing new to Guru as he has performed around the world a thousand times over. Time and time again, he has proven that he is a man that is ahead of the times. From all three Jazzmatazz albums to his seven Gang Starr classics with DJ Premier, the proof is in the pudding.

As usual, Guru is joined by a host of industry friends as features on his new project. Included are B Real, Talib Kweli, Jaguar Wright, Jean Grae, Doo Wop and Styles P.

As he takes stock these days there are no regrets and when asked there is nothing that he would do differently. When he looks at the cats that are coming up now he is impressed with their ability to handle business. And when asked for words of wisdom, Guru states, "be honest with yourself, be original, be open to criticism and be careful not to be surrounded by "yes" men".
