Murs – Can It Be?

Living Legends member and LA underground stalwart, MURS, is returning with a new album, MURS for President, due out September 30 on Warner Bros. – his major label debut. Jacking the sample from Juelz Santana’s “Did You Miss Me,” which appeared on Green Lantern’s Alive on Arrival mixtape in 2006, this track sounds nicer than almost anything off his Def Jux album, The End of the Beginning. He takes a little potshot at Nas – “I could have done the Nas and screamed ‘Hip-hop is dead’” – but it’s more about his faith in hip-hop than a personal attack. I’m definitely looking forward to hearing the full album.
