Don’t be afraid children, James Van Der Beek will not be screaming with a backwoods accent in this blurb (by the way, only about 89% of the south actually speaks like that). This Varsity Blues 2 is much better than any country football remake, as L.A. veteran Murs once again takes the stage to write a somber note to fans and sleepers alike. With the very talented Aesop Rock working the boards, the duo manage to produce one of the heaviest tracks I’ve heard in a minute as Murs reveals the anxiety and pressure that take over his brain when the grind of the music industry takes its toll: “They say I’m at my best when I’m most stressed out/ It’s like I only see success when I’m wrestling with doubt.” In other words, if you’re looking for some disposable pop, keep looking. If this record is any indication, his latest album - also entitled Varsity Blues 2, and a follow up to ‘02s Varsity Blues-  will be one sequel that lives up to the original. Stay tuned for more from your local neighborhood DJBooth.net.

The production was a good match with Murs. A for sure enjoyable listen, went pretty hard and the lyrics were the truth. Good look on here!

Aesop's production skills have been getting better, and while I don't want the man to be constantly depressed, this is a Murs I do wish I heard more often. I can't remember if he's actually part of the Living Legends, but either way, he's a living legend.

For a completely different side of Murs, have you seen his new video in DJBoothTV? Check it out >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Ok, first off... if you havent see the Murs & Terrace vidoe on DjBooth tv, you must see it. Murs is sooo interesting. He is like no other. This is my first time hearing his music, and im an instant fan of his work. The production in this is staright fire from Aesop. Murs can really spit.... His verses in this waas really great, with deep lyrics. Also, i really loved the hook in this.

Love this track. Murs and Aesop always make a great team (remember Felt 3 when Slug was thrown into the mix?)

for my 1987-th rating, this was a wack track. Creepy sound production with live instruments in the background and a weaker hook. No play.
