Gang Starr - Definition and Overview

Gang Starr is an American hip hop duo, composed of Guru (hailing from Boston, Massachusetts) and DJ Premier (hailing from Texas). Though both have gone on to greater fame as a solo rapper and record producer, respectively, Gang Starr's albums, especially Step in the Arena (1991, 1991 in music) and Daily Operation (1992, 1992 in music), remain well-respected alternative rap albums. Their track "Jazz Thang", which was featured on the soundtrack to Spike Lee's film "Mo Better Blues", helped establish the sound of jazz rap.
