Gang Starr is undoubtedly one of the most revered, beloved and influential groups in Hip Hop. Over the course of their distinguished career, they became a cultural institution and a brand you could ultimately trust. With a handful of indelible classic albums on their resume, DJ Premier and Gurus catalogue has not only persevered but mastered the test of time. Simply, Gang Starr did not follow trends, they created them. Though they never officially disbanded after the release of their last project (The Ownerz 2003), Premier and Guru still remained infinitely connected to each other even as they embarked on solo paths. To officially announce their reformation, Gang Starr released the albums first single and video for Family and Loyalty, featuring J. Cole. The adulation and reaction was immediate, palpable and overwhelming! Funkmaster Flex dedicated an entire hour long-tribute set to Gang Starr before debuting the single and a Gang Starr Billboard lit up Times Square as Family and Loyalty rocketed up charts and playlists generating millions of streams; Gang Starr and Family and Loyalty also became trending topics on social media.
