Just in case you never got the memo, MURS can no longer be called an indie rapper. The LA emcee, who up to last year had paved a prodigious career by eating, sleeping, and breathing indie, is now a proud member of (gasp!) Warner Bros. Records. Thankfully, “The Man” has thus far avoided dulling his trademark edge. Murs’ new single, Can It Be, is a scathing critique on everything from fair weather hip-hop fans to the recession. Lyrically, he changes topics so quickly that it almost comes off as stream-of-consciousness. Producer Scoop Deville adds a little vintage Michael Jackson to the mix, sampling I Wanna Be Where You Are in the beat and on the hook. Can It Be will appear on MURS’ major label debut, MURS For President (Sep. 30).

Yea I like this one. I'm not familiar with the kid really familiar with Murs music dispite him being from my town. LA radio is the worst in the land. One station is geared toward the spanish folks and the other is geared toward the black folks as far as Hip Hip is concerned. That makes for bad music in both situations. Indie cats like Murs get no love. This must change. Bangin track Murs, you're on my radar. (please do somethin with that head man, @*#$! lol)

Its unique and the beat is pretty good. He has hot flow but nothing i can listen to a lot on my iPod. This is a banger for the style of music he's makin it for

Scoop DeVille did a fine job with the sample and the beat. MURS was doing his thang too - being himself in the forefront and always pouring his heart on the vinyl for a courageous uplifting song. "Can It Be" should have been Common's song, if you hear the lyrics carefully. If only I could give this a 3 and a half cause I was expecting more with the melody, but I am gonna have to round it to the nearest integer. Four stars, it is.

Finally! MURS will get the exposure he needs. This man been holding it down for years and dropping awesome music from his joints with Slug all the way to Murs 3:16 & Murray's Law with 9th Wonder. This track is no different. Awesome sample and sincere hip hop lyrics that bring light upon the current cluttered hip hop game of idiot boy singing about idiot stuff. I see the normal DJ Royale hating again. You should be ashamed of yourself as a DJ to rep hip hop when you cosign that drug dealer flow but not some real ish like this. A prime example pitiful victim of cliche African American ignorance and promoting more things that are detrimental to our acceleration than beneficial. Then, there is this silly people on here worrying more about Murs hair in the photo than his lyrical ability and everlasting quality of making a good joint. C'mon now. Go cop Murray's Law and then get at me....tell me "Dark Skinned White Girls" isn't one of the best hip hop track ever with a straight face...exactly...you won't be able to. Get educated. That's my two cents...and then some. Peace Easy!

The beat was lacking in some areas, weak during the verse. The lyrics were point on.

I quote E-dub. The production is good and his flow too, but the song wouldn't go to my mp3 player. I recognise this is an high-quality track, but not my type, after a while I would get bored by this!

This beat is all over the place. Lyrics were off a little but, somehow as crazy as the beat was it all hung together.
