Murs & 9th Wonder, Fornever
SMC Recordings
Murs and 9th Wonder’s third album together (not counting the Internet-only My Sweet Lord) has a distinctly L.A. vibe, with guest spots from Sick Jacken, Kurupt and Suga Free. The beats are slightly rougher, too, as 9th Wonder adds live instrumentation to his familiar soul loops and even steps out for a rhyme on a celebration of “Asia Girls.†But Murs still has the crazy stories, from dating porn stars on “Vikki Veil†to ruing “Cigarettes and Liquor,†that makes this a solid if unspectacular entry in the duo’s growing catalog.
