Murs has been consistently releasing music since the late 90s, repping his home of Los Angeles the entire time. He's incredibly prolific, with a catalog ranging around 600 songs, and he's worked with practically everybody in the business, from Kendrick Lamar to El-P (Run the Jewels) to Snoop Dogg to Slug from Atmosphere. In this episode, he shares the stories behind these songs:

1. "My Story" (Good Music, 1999)


2. "Are You Ready?" (Sweet Lord, 2008)


3. "Doing Me" (Melrose w/ Terrace Martin, 2011)


4. "Signs" (3 Melancholy Gypsies, Grand Caravan to the Rim of the World, 2005)


5. "Freak These Tales" (Murs 3:16 : The 9th Edition, 2004)


6. "Hot Bars" (Felt, Felt: A Tribute to Christina Ricci, 2002)


7. "Wifey" (The White Mandingos, The Ghetto Is Tryna Kill Me, 2013)

...and reveals why he thinks his fans don't love his favorite albums, the origin of his partnership with producer 9th Wonder, the album that *almost* became his major label debut, and the model who snubbed him on a 5-hour flight across the country.
