In this week's paper, Observer contributor Eric W. Saeger tackles the subject of L.A. rapper MURS:
Now boasting a Warner Bros. contract, he nevertheless continues to lampoon the pigeonholes into which MCs are known to fall; he describes his music as "Sitcom Rap," taking elements from everyday life and making them entertaining.
And it was entertaining enough for MTV to name him Artist of the Week in late September...
On that note, we're happy to present two pairs of tickets to tonight's MURS gig at Hailey's (thanks again, Spune!) to our readers. First two people to email me with "MURS for President!" in the subject line each gets a pair of tix. Best of luck. --Pete Freedman
