MURS - MURS FOR PRESIDENT (2008)

Murs new full length! Likely to be one of the best full lengt albums from US artist this year, along with some other releases. Funny surprise is the coloured vinyl, I didn't expect that when I opened the sleeve. After one listening, the best tracks is the same as the 12" below, but I think this is the the kind of record that grows when you've listened to it some time. As it is most of the time with good records.

You can listen to two tracks from the record below.

MURS - CAN IT BE/ME AND THIS JAWN (2008)


I really like Murs. This 12" is no exception!

Solid catchy Jackson 5 sample. Probably there's a hit warning on this one. Hit warnings is of course always bad, so let's hope it wont make it to far on the charts. Then I can be proud of this record next year too.

The B-side, "Me And This Jawn", has one of the best beats lately. But the song doesn't really stick to my brain, I don't know why. I have a bad feeling about "New Murs".

Maybe because he's now released by warner music....

LISTEN TO "CAN IT BE"
LISTEN TO "ME AND THIS JAWN"

DJ PREMIER - BEATS THAT COLLECTED DUST (2008)

Dj Premier doesn't disappoint us this time either. This LP is packed with beats that most producers would have given their right hand for coming up with. Premo though, admit in the inlay that he's not very fond of theese beats, and they aren't his best. I agree with him, this material isn't sparkling as much as some of his other released stuff. But still, premo keeps it so geniously simple so you just got to love this. Especially on a dusky swedish monday like this. Big up once again premo!

My favourite tracks on the record is "Blow Horn Joint" and "B-Line".

Listen!
