Amid a storm of promotion of his newest album, Murs for President, hip-hop artist Murs took the time to talk with The Meter about his mission with music and what he plans to accomplish with his new LP Murs for President.
Gregory Brand Jr: How would you categorize this album?
Murs: I'm trying to make a statement. In regards to music and hip-hop
right now, I want to be a positive representation. Every song on here
makes positive statement.
GBJ: Is there anything new and innovative on the album?
Murs: You're going to hear good things and good music. There is
nothing new under the sun but the goal is to do it for the real fans.
GBJ: What makes you so dedicated to emceeing and making records?
Murs: Artists are driven to be creative. Being on a label like Warner
Brothers, I get a chance to do that. Not every artist has that option.
GBJ: What kind of advice do you have for people and students here
interested in getting into the music game?
Murs: It requires a lot of hard work. In most cases, the hard work is
more important than the talent. You have to work. Graduate and build
something to stand on too.
GBJ: Is there anything the students of TSU should know when listening to the album?
Murs: That you should listen, enjoy the music and receive the positive
message. It's for you. Also go checkout the 10-song album of me and my
brother 9th Wonder did. Go to www.mursand9thwonder.com and get it for free.•
