The creative evolution of each major musical act in human history is unique.
It took several years and multiple iterations of members before Gang Starr could so much as produce more than the occasional single in the hip-hop sphere. The talented Guru, a Boston native living in New York City, was the last man standing under the name until he heard a demo tape from a producer then-known as Waxmaster C. Soon, the producer had changed his name to DJ Premier, and the duo released a full album with a handful of hits, 1989’s No More Mr. Nice Guy.
