Murs Shares New Single “Starting Lineup”
California emcee Murs and Texas beatsmith Wiardon present “Starting Lineup”, featuring Larry June & ICECOLDBISHOP, the lead single from their collaboration EP speak n spell. Murs is a trailblazer of first the West Coast then the global underground hip-hop scene, going from selling cassettes of his music around the world with Living Legends to releasing albums with Warner Music Group, Def Jux, Rhymesayers, Strange Music and Dame Dash to name just a few.
On October 13, 2016, Murs set a Guinness World Record for rapping for 24 hours non-stop during a live stream on Twitch. At age 16, Austin-based rapper/producer Wiardon’s NUMBA1VIKTIM debuted with 10 songs on NUMBA1VIKTIM on SoundCloud, including a feature with Wiki. Wiardon says “I met Murs as a fan when I was super young and he followed me on social media and watched a lot of my growth as a musician so to be able to link up and do this project is special to me – shoutout Murs and Tim for reaching out and letting me be a part of this one.”
If you haven’t discovered Nixo Fortune yet, his latest EP, As of late : Volume 2, is the perfect place to start. This five-track project captures the highs and lows of a transformative year, showcasing Nixo’s ability to merge introspection with head-nodding beats. The result is a polished, authentic work that’s as easy to connect with emotionally as it is to play on repeat.
The EP wastes no time diving into Nixo’s 2024 experiences, blending themes of growth, resilience, and celebration. Tracks such as “motion picture” deliver pure energy with their catchy hooks and vivid nightlife imagery, while other songs offer a glimpse into his reflective side. What stands out most is Nixo’s ability to balance both worlds – his clever wordplay and emotional depth give each track a unique identity while keeping the project cohesive.
Sonically, As of late : Volume 2 thrives on variety. Drawing inspiration from artists like Kanye West and Lil Wayne, Nixo blends modern trap beats with conscious rap elements, creating a sound that feels fresh and familiar at once. Whether you’re in the mood to dance, think, or simply vibe, this EP has something for you.
