Description
Living legend MC Murs has made a career out of confounding his fans and the industry, bounding between polished radio-ready hip-hop and longer, experimental song suites. It's unusual for a contemporary MC to have such scope and range at a time when hip-hop's more eccentric traits have been submerged, but Murs proves that it's still possible to be an iconoclast in 2010. While he treads a dangerous line - going mainstream and aggravating underground heads, then alienating mainstream fans with experimental, personal albums - it's refreshing to see an MC willing to follow his muse, career consequences be damned. - Paul M.
