Gang Starr MC Offers Solo Album for Free

Legendary MC Guru -- half of the infamous duo Gang Starr -- is providing fans with a free download of his first solo album, 'Version 7.0: The Street Scriptures.' The 2005 album, which was originally released on Guru's newly founded label, 7 Grand Records, featured several hit singles including 'Step In the Arena 2' and 'Hood Dreamin.'

"The 'Street Scriptures' is one of my best albums to date! It is right up there with my Gang Starr records, and a classic," Guru said. "The album was our first release on 7 Grand Records. The sound and scope of the 'Street Scriptures' is very futuristic, and innovative. I also am very proud of the single 'Hood Dreamin'' and the music video. This is a great album and any real hip-hop head will find something on this album that they will enjoy if not the whole album. The features are outstanding. So here it is for you and yours -- 'Version 7.0: The Street Scriptures.'

The 19-track album features guest appearances by a slew of artists including Talib Kweli, Styles P, Jean Grae and others. Download the album here.
