After a prolonged absence they returned to the scene in 1998 with the inventive Moment Of Truth. The following year’s compilation set provided a comprehensive overview of one of hip-hop’s most consistently excellent teams. Guru and Premier then put Gang Starr on extended hiatus to concentrate on a number of solo projects. It was something of a pleasant surprise when the duo returned in 2003 with a new Gang Starr album, The Ownerz, but the reunion proved short-lived, leaving back-catalog collections such as Mass Appeal: The Best of Gang Starr (2006) to fill the void. Sadly, Guru died at age 43 on April 19, 2010 after battling cancer, suffering a heart attack, and for a time falling into a coma. Read more about Gang Starr here.
