Murs to Play Fox Theatre, 10/16

Z2 Entertainment is proud to present MURS with Red Pill & King Fantastic at the Fox Theatre on Friday, October 16th, 2015. Tickets are on sale July 10th for $18.50 advanced or $20 day of show.

He is one of the most successful and prolific independent rappers of all time. He has recorded a string of revered collaborative albums with Fashawn, 9th Wonder and Slug of Atmosphere (as Felt). He's also the owner and founder of the groundbreaking Paid Dues festival, which highlights the best underground rap on the planet. But one thing MURS lacked was a definitive solo album. Until now.

Have A Nice Life, the Los Angeles rhymer's debut solo album on Strange Music, encapsulates MURS' far-reaching personality and sensibilities while arriving as a cohesive project that nonetheless vacillates between being humorous, serious, intense, street and socially aware.

"My former manager told me this is supposed to be the 'quintessential MURS album,'" MURS says. "A lot of people said to her, 'I know MURS from Paid Dues and I know him from being around, but I don't know who he is or what he does.' Jay Z is the ex-crack dealer, hustler rapper. Rick Ross is the Tony Montana rapper. I feel like I have a duality and I'm hard to classify. There's a duality to the album. It's conscious, but it's still street. I was going to call is Love & Rockets Vol 2 initially, but Have A Nice Life is just something that always seems to catch people off guard when I say it. It always evoked an emotion, so I figured, 'Why not make it the title of the album?'"
