Why He Rocks
Underground rap stalwart Murs is running for the position of Hip-Hop President with his forthcoming album on Warner Bros. Records, Murs For President. Through his compelling lyrics, the Los Angeles rapper champions social equality, racial unity and economic empowerment.
Due in stores September 30, the eclectic, genre-bending, politically charged, musically adventurous Murs For President includes “Can It Be,” which marks Murs’ dedication to make a change for the better with his words and through his influence on others. The bouncy, horn-propelled “Lookin’ Fly” has Murs paying homage to his forward-thinking fashion sense, while “Science” breaks down black history in the United States and how it is tied to hip-hop’s evolution.
Through the Internet, touring and his flurry of independent releases with Living Legends, with producer extraordinaire 9th Wonder, as one-half of Felt (with Atmosphere’s Slug) and as a solo artist, Murs has become one of hip-hop’s most notable success stories. A tireless performer, Murs will appear on this summer’s Rock The Bells tour, and Murs’ Paid Dues makes him the only rapper to own, operate and perform at his own music festival.
As hundreds of thousands of fans around the world already know, Murs is here to save hip-hop from artistic inferiority. So be sure to vote Murs For President September 30.
