http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.38425&rws=%2Fmurs%2Ftop-tracks.rssAmong the most prolific emcees in rap, Murs has been steadily churning out blue-collar anthems since the mid-'90s. His emotionally complex narratives are tempered by more lighthearted, comic fare. But regardless of the style he's adopting, Murs almost always comes across as humble and likable. A longtime member of Cali's Living Legends crew, he built up a devoted following on both coasts and overseas in the '90s before signing with indie label Definitive Jux in 2002. After dropping the critically acclaimed LP <I>The End of the Beginning</I> in early 2003, Murs teamed up with North Carolina super-producer 9th Wonder (Little Brother) for 2004's excellent <I>Murs 3:16: The 9th Edition</I> and its 2006 follow-up <I>Murray's Revenge</I>. In 2007, Murs signed to Warner Brothers. Though some feared that the major label would dilute Murs' message, his 2008 album <i>Murs for President</i> was in the same vein as his earlier material. - Sam ChennaultWest Coast Lyricistsen720Tue, 22 Dec 2009 16:57:47 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.38425&rws=%2Fmurs%2Ftop-tracks.rss Among the most prolific emcees in rap, Murs has been steadily churning out blue-collar anthems since the mid-'90s.
