Ghanaian rapper Guru has opened up about the turning point in his career, crediting his breakout hit Lapaz Toyota for rescuing his journey in the music industry.
Speaking in an interview with Nana Romeo, the artiste revealed that he had been battling to remain relevant before the release of the song. Despite putting out tracks like Kasiebo and Democracy, he said the response fell short of expectations, leaving his career in a difficult place.
Guru admitted that the lack of recognition and consistent struggles at the time almost forced him to walk away from music altogether.
That narrative, however, changed dramatically with the release of “Lapaz Toyota.” The track quickly caught on with fans and propelled him into mainstream success.
According to him, the song marked a major breakthrough, elevating his profile, strengthening his brand, and ultimately landing him his first record deal. It also paved the way for new opportunities and collaborations within the industry.
Beyond the fame, Guru noted that the success had a meaningful impact on his personal life, enabling him to support his family and those close to him after years of perseverance.
