Engineer, record producer and DJ, Young Guru was part of the Comics & HipHop panel at the New York Comic Con and I got interview him. We kicked it about the panel, his big comic book collection and also how he convinced Jay-Z to use the “Kingdom Come” title which was inspired by the Superman “Kingdom Come” comic book.
I also discovered Young Guru use to race BMX back in the day and he talks about his BMX roots when he grew up in Delaware! Fun fact Young Guru use to race at Lums Pond BMX track.
For those that don’t know Young Guru has mixed 10 of Jay-Z’s 11 albums, and was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2011 for his work on “Empire State of Mind” by Jay-Z and Alicia Keys.
