Tired of watching his sophomore album, most recently titled U C Me, collect dust on Universal Motown‘s shelves, Murphy Lee has negotiated the ideal release from his contract: though still signed as a member of the St. Lunatics, Murph is free to look for solo distribution elsewhere. Taking a page from his Derty Ent boss’ book, Lee’s looking to recapture the public’s attention with a Midwestern-style ladies’ jam—on his new single, he spits game to a woman who fits all his specifications, offering her some of that good Ghetto Love. Shy Carter adds to the track’s pop appeal, delivering a Jaheim-style hook over Trizzil‘s electric-guitar accompaniment (a la Ride Wit Me and Over and Over). Though Ghetto Love may not quite measure up to Nelly‘s hits, the single’s female appeal should earn it plenty of spins, helping Murph net new distribution (and a solid release date) for his long-awaited sophomore set.

Nice feel on this track with the guitars. I agree it's nowhere near the magnitude of Nelly's hits but it's solid. Should get some spins in his hometown but probably won't make it up to Ohio on radio.

Great for the radio. Congrats to Murph for breaking away from Universal. This is not my cup of tea, but this is what he does best.

The production and hook make for great radio appeal, obviously. Murph sounds decent along wit the beat, but he just doesn't have that powerful or recognizable vocals to make this really catch anyone's ear as "Murphy's track." Don't get me wrong, I love Murphy Lee, but I don't know if he'll ever get the national recognition witout the head Lunatic. Having said that, this track may be his best shot at just that and I could give it some spins.

This is real smooth, not sure it will make an impact at radio though.

Pretty average/generic attempt at Radio-single but not catchy/memorable enough to possibly gain solid radio play out of his hometown ... He did a song with Day26 back few weeks titled "Mad at Me" which def has more memorable performances on both hook and verses.

This is better than I thought it would be but as most have mentioned that this isn't his best work. The guitar works and the hook is pretty good so it'll go into rotation.

wow, they straight jacked this from Chamillionaire's "Relax" with J. Holiday. That track is way better than this, but this is decent. But I prefer Cham's "Relax" rather than this.

Shouts to Raphael saadiq for making such great music back in the 90's. Pillow is one of the tracks that I could listen to all the time. This is a decent remake, Murphy has no energy whatsoever though. It could catch on, but I have my doubts. Its just a cool song to play at the BBQ.

In rotation. There's nothing wrong with this, and I actually hate the d-bags that whine on and on about universal, but it's not for me. Still a nice uptempo slow jam, and it's going to get radio play.
