MURS - Doing Me ft. Terrace Martin & J. Black
Artist: MURS
Featuring: Terrace Martin
Producer: Terrace Martin
Album: The Melrose
Label: It's A Wonderful World Music Group/Traffic/KGMG
Do fame and fortune inevitably change a person? Beats me! Since I’ve yet to win the lotto or write that Great American Novel (I’m going to get around to it, I swear!), I’m going to have to take MURS at his word when he states that, contrary to what haters may claim, he’s still just “Doing Me.” On this newly-released cut, the Los Angeles emcee takes a lyrical stroll down Memory Lane, giving listeners a glimpse into his years as an unconventionally dope, saxophone-playing “square peg” coming up in the hood, and makes clear that, though he’s come a long way towards realizing his dreams, he remains true to his roots. The rapper’s nostalgic lyricism is backed by the mellow boardwork of Melrose collaborator and fellow L.A. native Terrace Martin, whose laid-back, synth-driven beat drips with West Coast style. Complete with the smooth hook vocals of R&B up-and-comer J. Black, the track is as refreshing as a cool Cali breeze, and should be just the thing to raise fan anticipation for MURS’ and Martin’s forthcoming collaborative LP.

The vibe on this song is amazing. J. Black is smooth on the hook and the production by Terrace Martin has a mellow summer vibe. MURS brings some good verses as well. Fresh West Coast track right here!

Terrace Martin cooks up an instrumental that both J.Black and MURS can comfortably glide over while kickin some dope rhymes ...

I didnt really like the instrumental at first, but as I got further into the song I started gettin into it. I really like the sample of the guitar or whatever that is. MURS is pretty decent for me. His flow was a lil weak but I liked his subject matter. In rotation.
