Timeline

1987

Maradona Yeboah Adjei (born May 7, 1987),, also known by his stage names Guru and Gurunkz, is a Ghanaian rapper and fashion designer.

Guru NKZ is a successful hiplife artist in Ghana.

He is known for his contemporary hip-hop rap style that combines English and Ghanaian indigenous languages.

Guru was born on May 7, 1987, in Accra and grew up in the small town of Nkoranza, in the Brong/Ahafo Region of Ghana.

As a child, he attended the Reverend John Teye Memorial Institute and went to secondary school in Apam.

He continued his education at NIIT and IPMC, studying architecture and computer networking.

Afterwards, he attended Zenith College in Accra, Ghana, to study marketing.

Guru says his interest in music started when he was very young, but he did not pursue it as a career until he found himself performing at large events while in school, like Miss SSS, a national contest in Ghana.

He also made appearances on national radio programs.

2008

Guru was the first artist to win the WAPPI Talent Discovery Program in 2008, a national contest seeking underground music artists.

2009

Guru recorded his first mixtape video with Ghanaian music artist Sarkodie in late 2009.

His first major feature, bringing him into the national spotlight, was on Obrafour's song "Kasiebo", where he was named best featured artist by the 4Syte TV Music Video Awards.

He came out with his first studio album, Platform, which also featured Sarkodie.

Platform received six Vodafone Ghana Music Award nominations.

2011

Guru's breakthrough was in 2011 when his hit song "Lapaz Toyota" appeared on the Ghanaian music charts.

Guru is considered a contemporary hip-hop artist, as his songs venture new ground in the Ghanaian music scene, mixing hip-hop, Afrobeats, highlife, and dancehall sounds.

In 2011, he released the single "Lapaz Toyota".

Influenced by the Azonto style sounds, the song became a hit.

It was referenced by politicians during campaigns and played at the Big Brother Africa finals.

The video for the song was awarded the best male act by the City People Entertainment Awards.

The same year, he also released the single "Karaoke".

2013

In 2013, Guru came out with six singles: "Amen", "Azonoto Boys", "Abena", "Nkwada Nkwada" and "Alkayida (Boys Abre)".

"Alkayida (Boys Abre)" came under fire from the government when some officials claimed it "promoted terrorism" because of the similarity of the song's title to terrorist organization Al-Qaeda.

Guru refuted the ban, claiming it was a song meant to encourage hard work, not violence, saying, "Ghana is a peaceful country, so why would I do a song to promote violence? I thought carefully about the song before coming out with it."

2015

In 2015, Guru collaborated with Sarkodie on the song "Baggy Jeans".

At the 2015 Ghana Music Awards, he received a nomination for hip-hop artist of the year and best hip-hop song of the year for "Pooley Swag".

He was described by hip-hop artist Jidenna as one of the greatest hip-hop artists in Africa, along with WizKid, Don Jazzy, and Akon.

In spite of several nominations for music awards, including four major categories in the 2015 4Syte Music Video Awards, Guru has yet to win any, causing some to wonder if there is some inner industry turmoil.

2016

In March 2016, he joined other artists in advocating for a clean environment, mentioning that it was the best prevention against diseases like malaria.

2018

In 2018, Guru released his album Journey of Judah, featuring Harrysong, Sarkodie, Lil Shaker, and Ofori Amponsah.

Guru participates on issues concerning environmental health.
