2. Murs | My Years Through My Ears

This is My Years Through My Ears, a series about influential songs that have shaped influential lives. Each guest breaks down the soundtrack to their life story, picking the most personally impactful songs to represent each chapter along the way. This episode's guest is MURS. He is one of my favorite rappers of all time time. His story is an inspirational one, going from LA to abandoned buildings in Europe to where he is now, a celebrated rapper with so many achievements under his belt. Plus, he remains prolific. He’s sitting down with me just after releasing his newest body of work. It’s called Love & Rockets Vol. 2: The Declaration.
