Tonight You Owe Murs Your Respect

Posted by on Sat, Mar 16, 2013 at 11:20 AM

(Crocodile) The humble and consistent rapper Murs—who's been at it for 17 years now—earned this writer's allegiance with one track, 2000's "24 Hrs. w/a G/The Two Step," which featured a slinky, funky drum and bass loop, a solid tale of a day on par with Ice Cube's best, and a chorus sung by Grover from Sesame Street. Go look it up right now. Eventually a prominent member of the Oakland/San Francisco Living Legends crew, Murs went on to drop his auspicious solo LP, The End of the Beginning, on longtime friend El-P's Definitive Jux imprint. Over the last two decades, he's collaborated with more people than you've met, and his latest two, one a collaboration with 9th Wonder and the other with co-biller Fashawn, are works of tempered reserve and formidable resolve. Murs doesn't need your respect, but you owe it to him anyway.
