MURS – ‘Best of Things’
No word yet on where it might be from, but MURS has dropped this new track, featuring a laid-back beat from Centric. It sounds pretty dope, so here’s hoping this is from a new album by the Cali legend, hot on the heels of his Have a Nice Life album earlier this year. Listen below.
