This week as her special guest from the arts Ruth Copland is pleased to be interviewing MURS, creator of ‘educated street music for the educated street movement’. Hailing from Los Angeles and creating great music since the early 90s, MURS is an indie-rap icon who has recorded multiple albums and has performed all over the world. You don’t need to be a fan of hip-hop or rap to enjoy hearing the thoughts of this conscious, deep-thinking and highly creative man. His consistently intelligent, thoughtful and charismatic work has engendered a dedicated following of fans. iTunes comments that MURS’s “low-key intelligence and self-deprecatory indignation make him a curiously modest figure on a Hip-Hop scene filled with inflated egos”. A prolific artist MURS has created both quality solo albums and collaboration projects with many artists including Mayday, 9th Wonder, and Fashawn. His many album releases include a 10-track concept album called Yumiko: Curse of The Merch Girl, a collaboration with artists and writers which is accompanied by a 100-page graphic novel. MURS recently moved record companies to Strange Music and his new album Have A Nice Life is coming out on the 18th of May.
Tune in Saturday 16th May 9-10 PM to find out more about the life and life-affirming art of MURS. For more info and to hear previous shows visit www.itsaquestionofbalance.com
