Murs moved to Arizona to raise a family a few years back, but he’ll always be LA’s son. The rapper is back with his own stage Murs 316 stage this weekend at the Sunset Strip Music Festival.
We asked him to break down some of his picks to perform, Sept. 20-21:
Bun B
I asked Bun B to perform because he is an Underground King.
Riff Raff
I asked Riff Raff to perform because my wife loves Katy Perry.
Dizzy Wright
I asked Dizzy Wright to perform because he has the best hype man in the game and my son thinks he’s the best rapper next to Wiz Khalifa.
Zion I
I asked Zion I to perform because people like them. Like any type of crowd will rock with them.
POS
I asked POS to perform because I haven’t seen him rock in years, and now that he’s all healthy and shit I need that in my life.
DJ Quik
I asked DJ Quik to perform because he is one of only two geniuses I’ve ever met. The other being Michael “Eyedea” Larsen for the record.
Killer Mike
I asked Killer Mike to perform because he’s always been nice to me. He once called my phone just to tell me that his son was a fan.
N.O.R.E.
I asked N.O.R.E. to perform because he’s one of my favorite rappers, and CNN kept me sane on my volunteer trip to Ethiopia.
Iamsu
I asked IAMSU! to perform because this is HBK forever bro!
RA The Rugged Man
I asked RA The Rugged Man to perform because he is truly entertaining, and I wanted to guarantee that there would be at least one topless mammal on my stage. My wife has also sold merch for him out of a trash bag.
