Murs EPK


Murs EPK from AlwaysHustle.com on Vimeo.

My favorite living rapper from LA.

A few discrepancies tho: they said this is an EPK (electronic press kit) but it's not really promoting a new album. All the tracks are off "Murray's Revenge", which came out over 2 years ago.

Seriously, what's up with all the major labels? Why sign the hottest underground guys and keep them on the shelf. When am I ever gonna hear Saigon's "The Greatest Story Never Told"? Seems like a better idea to keep things indie these days... unless you got a few bangin' ringtones on your album.

But I think Murs really did earn his stripes as the hardest working rapper in the game - for one reason: there's never been a touring underground hip hop festival until Paid Dues came along. If and when his album does drop I really hope it doesn't sound like this.
