Press Release Body = Miami, Florida US - August 13, 2007 - Guru's Jazzmatazz Vol. 4, entirely produced by Superproducer Solar was released on July 31st through 7 Grand Records/Koch. Following a successful release of the video for their first single, "State of Clarity" featuring Common and Bob James, the single went #1 on the College charts as well as placed in Billboard's top 20 with a steady increase to follow. In addition they have completed both a European and US tour resulting in sold out shows in both markets. All these efforts were done independently without the backing of any major label resources.
"This album is the absolute embodiment of the growing maturity of Hip Hop music. It is not only a great album for rap in 2007, but a success by any musical standards that should be in any music fan\'s collection."- RapReviews.com
Guru and Solar have proved their independent label 7 Grand Records sets the trend for major Hip Hop labels as they did with their music video for "State of Clarity" using animation to express the theme of their song. Two months after their video was featured on MTVU, BETJ, VH-1, Noggin, FUSE TV and Myspace.com, major hip hop labels and artists are using similar themes of animation to express their views, where as previously they utilized traditional resources of wealth, pornography and violence to hype their videos.
Following the successful European & US tour the continuation of the world tour will follow.
