"I, Guru am sending out this letter to my many fans, 7
Grand supporters and any interested Hip Hop heads who have
been asking questions about the current Lupe Fiasco single.
I will start by pointing out the positive impact that 7
Grand Records is having on Major label projects and up and
coming Major label Hip Hop stars. Lets take a look at the
new single "Day Dreaming" from Lupe feat: Jill Scott. The
song is obviously inspired by the single from myself and
Superproducer Solar "Hood Dreamin" from the summer 2005
release entitled Guru Version 7.0 The Street Scriptures.
"Hood Dreamin" was our 2nd single from the album and went to
#10 on NY's Hot 97 top 20 countdown as our brilliant video
received play on MTV worldwide. "Hood Dreamin" is one of our
fans favorite songs from our sold out Street Scriptures
world tours!
Major labels have constantly been influenced by the cutting
edge releases of the great independent labels throughout the
history of Hip Hop. This also lets me know that we remain
way ahead of the creative curve and reminds me of when
everyone was attempting to make tracks similar to the works
of Dj Premier. My partner Superproducer Solar is indeed
making his presence felt in the "Production Game" and if you
listen to both tracks you will be able to recognize his
undeniable genius.
Big up to Jill Scott as I have always loved her vocal style
and this collabo reminds me of my Jazzmatazz duets with
Angie Stone, N'Dea Davenport, Erikah Badu, and Chaka Kahn to
name a few. Look out for our Jazzmatazz Mix Cd coming soon
and the groundbreaking Jazzmatazz Vol 4 album to be released
in March/ April 2007 brought to you of course from 7 Grand
Records!!! Peace!!!!
GURU"
