Mr. Rap Guru is a Canton, Ohio based rapper/recording artist. Growing up in the streets of Canton (home of the NFL hall of fame) was never easy between the drugs and violence that crowds this small city, and being the oldest of 6. The Rap Guru did what he was supposed to do…. survive and try to make the future better for himself and his family.

Mr. Rap Guru’s curriculum confirms that he is an undefeated battle-rapper. So you already know, before even listening to one single track off his “HALLAFAME” mixtape, that you’re in for a hard ride! Mr. Rap Guru as far as I’m concerned is progressing as an artist, expanding his horizons as a lyricist and still keeping his fire-breathing lyrics 100% pure, as if he was battle rapping in every track.

MrRapGuru-300In the watered-down present day rap environment, here we have an artist with something to say and a fresh spin on how to say it. Why he isn’t well-known outside the Midwest is beyond me. His beats range from furiously fast to quirky modern and soulful old-school, which is a perfect mirror to his rapid-fire rapping style and lyrics.

Mr. Rap Guru’s big selling point is not just his lyrics, but his incredible flow.  His mood is dark and angry, and his lyrics, speed, and flow are unmistakable and unparalleled. It’s not fair that someone with this much talent isn’t making the kind of money that mainstream rappers are. I guess Mr. Rap Guru is too real and his lyrics are too raw for the average listener.

On it, Mr. Rap Guru proves that he is a lyrical mastermind and has his own unique style of rapping. If you search for a fresh, powerful, original mixtape, made by a rapper who is not afraid of being different, you definitely cannot miss the tracks on “HALLAFAME”.
