Guru explores his legacy birthing stars like Drew, Dancegod, Xbills, etc
Rapper Guru NKZ has pointed out singer Mr Drew was a dancer in the music videos for his Samba and Kokompe Love hits.
He said this highlighting his penchant for using his fame to showcase young talents, giving them a chance to make a case for their gift.
Dancegod Lloyd, Mr Drew and others “I think, they started from most of our music videos,” he observed, cheering: “Now, they are big, and I’m proud of them.”
Guru was speaking to Nana Romeo on Accra 100.5 FM’s Ayekoo Ayekoo.
“I heard Dancegod share his testimony. I think it was Xbills who invited him to appear in my music video, and he did so well, and that brought him here,” he said contentedly.
The serial hitmaker said, from the onset, he decided against using “already-made brands,” preferring talented but lesser-known creative arts folks.
He buttressed this by citing the story, rise and “unmatched legacy” of Xbills Ebenezer, “whom I brought onto the scene”.
In the same vein, he mentioned “engineers discovered through Guru’s music” also: “Ball J, Kin-Dee, Danny Beatz, Cash 2 – even though he was already in the business, Beat Monster, Tipsy – it’s a tall list and these guys are all big. They came out with big, big songs”.
The idea, Guru explained, “was to bring on an entire empire”.
“My songs also didn’t have big artistes on them. Every artiste featured on my songs were undergrounds,” he noted, adding, ironically: “When I was an underground artiste, I was managing fellow underground acts.”
Guru stressed, in conclusion, “This is the nature of my legacy. I don’t care about how big [or small] you are, if you have the capacity, I will put you on.”
