A true rap icon from the sun-drenched streets of Los Angeles, brings a raw and unfiltered voice to the culture of hip hop. With roots in the vibrant indie scene of the late 90’s and early aughts MURS stands as a testament to authenticity and lyrical brilliance. He began carving his path with compelling narratives and a distinctive sound with the Living Legends collective. He solidified his own legendary status in 2004 with the release of his album Murs 3:16 produced by 9th Wonder on jewel runner El-P’s label Def Jux. From there he was picked up by Warner Bros. where he released Murs For President. Inspired by the legends like Tupac and his contemporaries, MURS's music is a fusion of introspective narratives and socially conscious themes, drawing inspiration from the golden era of hip-hop and beyond. He, in-turn, influenced the next generation of hip-hop having shared the stage with and collaborated on songs with leaders of the new school such as Kendrick Lamar, Mac Miller and Rapsody. He’s respected by OG’s in the game as well having rocked songs and shows with rap veterans like E-40, Snoop Dogg and Warren G.
Over his illustrious career, MURS has released numerous critically acclaimed albums, rocked on numerous tours and festivals , gaining a dedicated following. Along the way he co founded his own festival Paid Dues in conjunction with Guerilla Union. 2016 saw him make hip hop history by setting a Guinness World Record by “Rapping for 24 Hours Non-Stop” during a Twitch.tv livestream. In late 2023 he began releasing his weekly Best Rapper In LA podcast which receives nearly 3k downloads weekly. This December he celebrated the BRILA one year anniversary with a sold-out live recording of the pod in his hometown.
Currently he is making rounds on his last nationwide headlining tour, promoting his final album “Love and Rockets 3:16.” After almost 30 years of touring and releasing music, the husband and father of 4, is switching his focus to family.
