小简介

地下饶舌歌手Murs是El-P的多年老友，他于2003年来到El-P的个人厂牌Def Jux并推出了一张令地下界称道的专辑《The End of the Beginning》。之前，Murs曾经是嘻哈三人组Three Melancholy Gypsies的成员（另两人分别是Eligh和Scarub），那还是1993年的事，后来Murs率领他的Three Melancholy Gypsies加入了包括奥克兰、旧金山海岸线，以及洛杉矶，甚至日本和欧洲的超级世界嘻哈组合The Living Legends。经历了着各种磨砺，十年时间，无论是在这两支团体还是为别的艺人工作，Murs一共参与了超过二十于张唱片的制作，直到老友El-P把他召入麾下。2003年的首张在Def Jux发行的专辑由Murs和El-P共同完成制作，堪称经典之作，而在随后的一年，2004年3月，人们又迎来了Murs的最新作品。

在专辑《Murs 3:16: The 9th Edition》中，Murs自行主理了各方面的事情，从前期的创作到后期的制作，再到客串艺人的邀请和最后把这些繁杂的事情熔为一炉，Murs忙的不亦乐乎。Murs说他在Def Jux的工作很开心也很稳定，他对自己有如此高涨的创造热情而高兴。同时，Murs为Def Jux拉来了新的一票忠实听众，这也是老板El-P最想看到的。在Def Jux中最显与众不同，区别于El-P等人的IDM＋Hip Hop的音乐方针，以出色的Flow和独特气质，Murs可以被视为如今地下说唱届最耀眼的明星。

A longtime friend of Definitive Jux leader El-P, rapper Murs first appeared as a solo artist in 2003, after nearly a decade of working with various groups in the underground. Based in Los Angeles, his first single was released in 1993, and came from a self-released album by his first group, 3 Melancholy Gypsies. The track barely made a dent, but it did catch the attention of indie hip-hop fans in the area. Through time, the group members became friends with Mystik Journeymen, who asked 3MG (their shortened name) to join him when he started the Living Legends collective in 1996.

Between both 3MG and the Living Legends, Murs rapped on several influential indie rap albums, appearing on more than 20 records, EPs, and singles within a seven-year period. When El-P started to pull together his Def Jux label, Murs contacted the producer and told him he would release his solo record for the company once he had the opportunity. His commitments to both the Legends and 3MG often kept him from working on the album, but after a few years of slowly putting together tracks, Murs finally delivered The End of the Beginning in the spring of 2003.

Featuring flashier production than his group projects, the album was more in tune with a mainstream hip-hop record, though projects with Anticon rapper Slug under the name Felt — A Tribute to Christina Ricci and A Tribute to Lisa Bonet — unveiled a more experimental side to his artistry. The rapper returned to solo work with Murs 3:16: The 9th Edition, a collaboration with producer 9th Wonder, in 2004. One of the tracks from that album, Walk Like a Man, inspired a movie starring Murs himself, along with Damien Wigfall. The soundtrack, Walk Like a Man, also appeared in mid-2005. Murs teamed up again with 9th Wonder to release Murrays Revenge in 2006.
