Murs

Murs' "Walk Like a Man," one of the standout tracks from Murs 3:16: The 9th Edition, eulogized a dead friend and commented on the futility of revenge. He also shot a half-hour film, basically a series of brief vignettes that begin with a pair of friends (played by Murs and Damien Wigfall) dreaming of making a living from their beats and rhymes. When Wigfall's character is gunned down after a confrontation with a jealous boyfriend, Murs' character has to decide how to channel his thirst for vengeance: with violence or with music. The DVD portion also includes a behind-the-scenes commentary, commentary from Murs himself, and the videos for three of his previous singles: "Bad Man," "H-U-S-T-L-E" (starring John Cena), and "Risky Business" (starring Shock G). A CD included in the program also isn't quite a soundtrack, but a series of exclusive tracks from Atmosphere, Blueprint, I Self Divine, and Murs himself. The film is rudimentary but effective (considering its budget), and the soundtrack is excellent -- most of the exclusives are high caliber, especially Blueprint's "Dead Presidents" and a remix of Murs' "H-U-S-T-L-E" featuring E-40, Chingo Bling, and John Cena. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide
