August 7th, 2008 | Author: Andres Tardio
With Snoop Dogg and Three 6 Mafia [click to read] on the bill for Murs' first major label release, Murs For President, the Mid City Los Angeles underground hero is already actualizing some dream collaborations. However, as Will.i.am [click to read], Rick Rock and others lend production assistance (whether or not they make the final cut), Murs enlisted another legend in for the September album's mixing.
"The biggest thing to me is that DJ Quik mixed the whole record. I got to sit with him every day. He’s a fucking genius!" admitted Murs. The emcee added that the work come in the form of a classical approach, "And we mixed it to a two and a half inch tape. It’s analog. It’s warm. Every rap album now is mixed straight, they call it in the box, ProTools. I took my shit and put it on the shit they put Beatles records on because it’s my only chance to do it. It might not happen again. So, um…DJ Quik mixed the tape. It’s all nerdy shit. To me, I tell people like this. I’m a director and I got to make…like Kevin Smith or somebody gets to make Clerks and then makes to big budget film. This is my time but I got one explosion, maybe."
DJ Quik is presently working with Snoop Dogg, Kurupt and Yung Joc.

Good news for Murs and he deserves it!
-
That's ill, I hope Murs' album and shit does well, he seems like a cool guy
-
that's great! 8) but i wanna hear some dj quik PRODUCED tracks in the near future as well...
-
i bet murs gets some attention now here
-
Yeah, I was happy to hear this. His brother told me that was the plan about 6 months ago, so it's good to see that it's actually been carried through.
I know they were all skeptical about one track that Nitty produced, that would be the title song for the album. Murs was rappin about being President, but the beat was VERY bouncy and had a strong club feel to it. I never got it from his iPod, but I wanted to test it at parties and see what kind of response it got. He said that Dredlocks made them skeptical, because his core fanbase felt he was "selling out" on there, even though the content and subject matter was the same as it's always been.

What he mean "nerdy" shit? And whens his album dropping?
-
great news
