Guts is a Paris-based DJ and producer who's enjoyed a successful, eight-year career that's seen him drop three full-length albums and four EPs that fuse hip-hop, jazz, funk, blues, reggae, and trip-hop within his instrumental-based music. And while his career has mostly been focused in his home country of France, Guts still has an international rapport, as seen with his forthcoming, strictly hip-hop album, Hip-hop After All, that features the likes of US-based artists Dillion Cooper, Murs, Cody Chesnutt, Masta Ace, Rah Digga, and many more. Pre-orders for the new album are ongoing, but if you happen to scoop up the album between now and its release date (September 9th in the UK and France), you will be gifted with the Grand Puba-assisted cut, "Forever My Love", that features some classic-sounding raps from the legendary Brand Nubian emcee. Alongside "Forever My Love", Guts has already released the Open Wide EP that features a few other tracks that will be on the album, but as far as quality goes, nothing is touching "Forever My Love" from what we've heard so far. So while there may be no North American hype or awareness for this album yet, it's safe to say that when people hear this track, that's going to change ASAP. Pre-order Hip-hop After All via iTunes.
