Gang*Starr will test their new album on Irish ears when they drop into Dublin next month
There's wonderful news for hip hop fans with Gang*Starr jetting in for their first live show here in over a decade.
Yup, turn up at the Dublin Red Box on November 22 and you'll be treated to a night old skool wonderfulness presided over by Guru and DJ Premier.
The New York-based outfit will be plugging their soon-to-be-released seventh album, The Ownerz.

"It's about how people are renting and leasing hip hop," Guru reflects. "At this point in the game there's a lot of people exploiting it, and calling the shit they're doing 'hip hop' even though the music's watered down. But we feel strongly about the love that we have for this music and that we're true owners of a purer form."
Well said, sir!
