Interview: Murs For HipHopDX

Back on Tuesday Murs let go his latest collabo project with Ski Beatz and it's undeniably a really honest and worthy effort...

I found it to be tasteful that this new interview that HHDX did w/ the former Los Angeleno be put up on here as to alert you fine folks of not only how dope "Love & Rockets Vol.1: The Transformation" is, but also to give ya'll an update on some of the things Murs has been up to lately.. some of which I find really interesting and that interviewer Jake Paine brought to the forefront masterfully...

DX: On "316 Wayz," you have a line about building schools in Africa. You write so much non-fiction in your verses. Tell me about this...

Murs: [Pauses] My wife and I traveled to Ethiopia. I asked my fans to donate too. The first step to building a school is building a well. We started building a well. Now we're investing. We're trying to build a school [through] Project 61. My wife and I went out kinda of volunteering at orphanages and there's also a leprosy colony by Addis Ababa. There's no clean water source and there's no school. Now, my wife and I are helping send kids to school from that colony and Shashamane, which is the big Rastafarian community. We're buying clothes, Christmas presents, some computers, helping.
