From locked jaws to venue switches, and even a run-in with the fire marshal, discover how they turned chaos into a sold-out indie hip-hop extravaganza. With candid backstage moments, a star-studded lineup, and the birth of a tradition, this episode is a testament to the power of community and the relentless spirit of independent artistry.

Customer Reviews
The best to ever do it!!
Long overdue review!
Dopest podcast out there due to the insight and love that legendary emcee Murs brings to each and every episode. Murs is Hip-Hop so this podcast series is more than just a recap of his career musical efforts. He always keeps it real so one week you’ll get a breakdown what he’s got going on (did he just run a marathon, maybe just got back from a trip to Egypt) and a peep into the history of the world and hip-hop. Thankful that he decided to do this podcast I truly hope he does it with his group albums even if it is by himself or not a full album breakdown. But Murs more than delivers with this pod, thanks to producer Rob for assisting on making it amazing. Join the patreon to fully support this inspiring human being at patreon.com/murs316
Amazing podcast
Murs is truly a legend and his storytelling skills are impeccable. Every second of this podcast is such a rich and unique experience…it’s a real privilege to witness this man’s mind at work.
One of the Best Podcast I’ve Heard
I’ve always liked Murs because of how honest he has been in his music. Only Chris Rock, Kevin Smith, and Murs can make me laugh by being so honest. That’s a short list, but I admire them all for their truthfulness. This podcast doesn’t disappoint in terms of how transparent Murs is with his stories. I can’t stop listening to this podcast and even listen to it at the gym instead of listening to music sometimes.
