HIPHOPDX.COM COVERS ABOVE THE CLOUDS TRIBUTE EVENT FOR GURU

Shouts to hiphopdx.com for helping us get the word out about this great event. Shouts to our partner Doo Wop for all his help.

It was announced to HipHopDX just moments ago that DJ Doo Wop, longtime friend and deejay for the late Keith "Guru" Elam, and Chris Medina and Larry Jenkins will sponsor and host a New York benefit next Tuesday (May 18th) in honor of the Gang Starr icon and his son, K.C. Titled "Above The Clouds," named after Gang Starr's Inspectah Deck-assisted 1998 hit, the event at Taj II Lounge (48 W. 21st Street) will see proceeds go directly to Guru's son.

Per Doo Wop's report, artists hitting the stage include onetime Guru/Gang Starr protege, Jeru The Damaja, whose 1994 hit "Come Clean" appeared on Guru's Ill Kid Records compilation, along with 'Ru's acclaimed debut The Sun Rises In The East. Diggin' In The Crates' A.G. will be appearing, who worked with Guru on his solo debut 1999's, The Dirty Version on the single "Weed Scented." Rap peers and friends such as Brand Nubian, Mic Geronimo, Royal Flush and Black Sheep are also set to appear.

With music provided by Doo Wop, Ted Smooth and DJ Sureshot, the evening will also see a video mix retrospective presented by Ralph McDaniels of Video Music Box.
