ForNever

VINYL FORMAT. Comes with a digital download! Over the course of Murs 3:16 and Murray's Revenge, Murs and 9th Wonder crafted two of the most enduring hip hop albums of the last decade. Packed with warm, soulful tracks and the inimitable wisdom of Murs, it's a complex collaboration that's unusual to say the least. Together again for the third time on ForNever, Murs tries to explain just why it works: "I let 9th pick the beats. I don't listen to what he brings me and then choose which ones to rap over. He hands me a beat and a lot of times tells me what the song is about." In classic Murs style, ForNever finds him covering customary territory, like the delicate balance of love relationships ("Let Me Talk") next to more topical matters, exemplified on the incendiary "Cigarettes and Liquor." Defining ForNever are the guests that appear alongside Murs on the tracks. Dogg Pound veteran Kurupt, stone-cold pimpin Suga Free and L.A. Latino OG Jacken from Psycho Realm are just some of the names on the list. Ultimately, it's all about Los Angeles for Murs & 9th Wonder. Even with one of the leading lights of the east coast rocking the beats, Murs is the definition of a true L.A. homeboy.
