Wonder twin powers activate! Murs & 9th Wonder return with ForNever

Wonder twin powers activate! Murs & 9th Wonder return with ForNever

Reacting quickly to the news about his recently announced Soundset Festival appearance (TMT report), Murs has dropped another truth-nugget on us: He will be re-teaming with producer 9th Wonder for the forthcoming album ForNever on SMC Recordings. The new disc will be the third collaboration for the MC/producer duo.

“When it comes to 9th, I pretty much just let him run the whole show,” Murs says about the collaboration. “That’s why it works with us. I’m one of the few rappers out here secure enough to relinquish some control in the studio. I mean, I’m still a total control freak. I’m just not as bad as the rest of them.”

The album features 10 tracks, including first single, “The Problem Is,” as well as a cover of Common’s classic jam, “I Used To Luv H.E.R.” Also planned are collaborations with Kurupt, Suga Free, Verbs, Sick Jacken, and Uncle Chucc.

If you want to buy ForNever hot off the presses, then make sure you show up at a store tomorrow, April 13.
