Where It All Began: Murs (Video)


Murs is cerebral and complex. The term "real" gets thrown around a lot but Murs is as real as it gets. We sat down with him and he talked with us about what shaped him in becoming an MC. He covers everything from the impact of Eazy-E and LL Cool J to growing up in a Crip neighborhood to Oreo cookies. He even shares that he was laughed at the first time he wrote a rhyme. This is the story of Where It All Began in hip-hop for Murs.

Miss Special: Blu Interview (Video)


Before his show last night in SF I got to sit down with Blu and talk about a few things. We spoke about working with Quelle and Chuuwee on songs dropping later this year, the status of his "UCLA" project with Madlib and the idea behind the song "Doin Somethin" with U-N-I, Pac Div, TiRon, Ayomari, J*Davey etc. We also spoke about his newest release "Give Me My Flowers While I Can Still Smell Them" including
the reason for the "un-mastered" sound, if there will be a mastered version and why the tracks were from 2009. In addition, we spoke about
the samples he's chosen for Exile, the many more songs from "No York" and hard copies of "Below The Heavens". (Again, I sincerely apologize
for the quality of this video, the Exile one will be much better on Friday).
