Living Legends alum Murs put out one of my favorite records last year with his Murray’s Revenge. He’s since signed with Warner Bros. (weird, right?) and is preparing to release, just in time for the election season, Murs for President.
His management company has posted the first single, Dreadlocks, a track about, uh, yeah, dreadlocks. Like Noz over at Cocaine Blunts, I’m not sure what to make of this Rick Rock-produced track, which also shows up on the Madden ’08 soundtrack.
On the one hand, it swipes a De La Soul line (from Bitties in the BK Lounge) for the chorus’ hook. And I’ve got nothing against the beat or the hyphy/Bay Area-influenced feel of the track. It just seems Murs’ tongue-in-cheek delivery doesn’t exactly suit the style. I’m wondering if this is the exception on Murs for President or a sign of what’s to come.
Either way, Murs is playing the Paid Dues Festival on Aug. 10 at Mesa Amphitheatre. Get tickets here.
Murs | Dreadlocks
I am a big fan of Murs, it is may be the only musical artist both me and my dad like. Murray’s Revenge was awesooome. Dreadlocks is nottt my favorite Murs song.
I like Murs but I am not into this track
This song is terrible. I have nothing against Murs, just trying to listen objectively.
yeah this song is really lame, its very unfortunate cuz i love murs
well murs is tight no matter wat song he does but i think this song is alright
