For a second time, Sumit conversed with DJ, engineer, and producer Young Guru. This time Mr. Keaton reflected on his days with Bad Boy’s Hitmen, The Throne’s “Otis” video, favorite Watch The Throne tracks, defending 9th Wonder and losing to Just Blaze in a DJ battle.

A screening was held in NYC last night for 9th Wonder’s documentary, The Wonder Year. Presented by LRG and directed by Kenneth Price, the film chronicles 9th’s formative years up to now. Here’s footage from the event shot on the Rebel T2i. Young Guru gives his reaction of the film after the jump. Shouts to Dark Nyte.

Minutes before the curtain dropped last night at the Roseland Ballroom, Memphis Bleek, The Roc Boys orchestra, Swizz Beatz, and DJ Franzen were in the dressing room watching the Heat vs. Bulls game on a Mac Book Pro.

If you were at South By Southwest last week, chances are you ran into engineer, Young Guru. Before fine tuning Jay-Z and Roc-A-Fella recordings, Guru did his thing behind the 1s and 2s.

After catching wind of Cory Gunz’s guest appearance on “6’7″, he decided to emancipate some material from Cory’s day’s over at Def Jam. At the time, Guru was an A&R at the label.
