Guru is a walking testament to Hip-hop’s spirit, culture and timelessness and his journey in the music industry has been one long ride producing one classic recording after another. From his work with the legendary Gang Starr, to becoming one of the first artists to fuse Hip-hop and Jazz, Guru’s legacy and legend continues as he unleashes the fourth installment of his timeless Jazzmatazz series on his very own 7 Grand label, a venture with business partner & SuperProducer, Solar.

Jazzmatazz Volume 4 The Hip Hop Jazz Messenger: “Back To the Future” features "Stand Up (Some Things'll Never Change)” with guest Damian Marley, one of the joint's stand out tracks that helps to set the whole project ablaze. Always pushing the envelope, Jazzmatazz Vol. 4 is entirely produced by Solar and co-produced by Guru. Gushing over the recording sessions, Guru laments: “Since the inception of Jazzmatazz, one of the main focuses has been that it has something for every generation and music lover. It’s timeless. When we enter into these projects we’re working with artists that are relevant and it provides for that fresh new territory. The tracks Solar and I have laid down are incredible, it’s going to be the best Jazzmatazz volume to date.”
