Guru Returns to His Roots with a Bold Street Anthem and Fresh Energy

After a quiet spell on the music front, Ghanaian rapper Guru is back! And this time, he’s reconnecting deeply with his core audience. His new single, which is already making waves across airwaves and social media, embodies the raw, unfiltered energy that first made him a household name.

In an exclusive chat on Morning Bite, the LAPAZ TOYOTA hitmaker explained the inspiration behind the record. “This song is for the streets,” he said. “For four years, I wasn’t as consistent. I wanted to give the people what they know me for the truth, the vibe, the rawness.”

Guru revealed that his latest release is not just a musical experiment but a reflection of real-life stories and social observations. “The song talks about what’s really happening around us. There’s no fiction. It’s real life. People relate because it’s the truth.”

When asked about the overwhelming reception, he smiled confidently. “Everywhere I go, the fans sing along. The vibe is crazy. This is what we do we connect with the fans and they give that energy right back.”

ASHAWO, produced by Governor and accompanied by a visually striking video directed by Amonor Black, represents a mature evolution in Guru’s artistry. It blends his signature “Afromood” feel with modern Afrobeat rhythms, striking a balance between nostalgia and contemporary sound.

But the comeback isn’t just about nostalgia. Guru is strategically studying trends, understanding new sounds and redefining his place in the digital age. “I didn’t want to just jump into the new trends. I needed to know what the people want. I’m tapping into the base, understanding my roots and then merging it with today’s energy.”

As the industry continues to evolve, Guru remains confident about his place in Ghana’s dynamic music landscape. “I’ve always stood for authenticity. Whether in sound or message, I represent what’s real. The new song is just the beginning.”

With plans for more collaborations, including one with Stonebwoy, Guru’s re-entry is not just a comeback it’s a statement that the street still remembers.
