Soon-to-be-ex-Def-Jukie Murs speaks to XXL about getting signed to Warner Bros., his new album, and the state of hip-hop here.
A quick preview: "Rap is the only music that'''s self-referencing. You don'''t hear artists in other genres complaining about the state of their music. In rap it'''s all about ''"you''" and right now, it'''s very selfish music. I got songs [on my album] about being a felon and not getting hired for work. I'''ve got a song rapping from the point of view of a homeless man. I dig deep for concepts. I want to show that hip-hop isn'''t all bad. It'''s alive and well, just badly misrepresented."
He also notes he wants to work with Kid Rock and Gym Class Heroes. Make of that what you will.
