Nick Carter (born March 16, 1978), better known by his stage name Murs, is an American rapper. His name is an acronym (or backronym) that he himself has created multiple meanings for such as "Making the Universe Recognize and Submit" or "Making Underground Raw Shit."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=LAist Interview: MURS )〕 Murs is a former member of hip hop groups such as Living Legends along with Luckyiam, Sunspot Jonz, The Grouch, Scarub, Eligh, Aesop, Bicasso and Arata, and current member of 3 Melancholy Gypsys along with Scarub and Eligh, Felt along with Slug, and Melrose along with Terrace Martin.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Murs & Terrace Martin: On Melrose (Music Video) )〕 He is also a lead vocalist of The Invincibles along with Whole Wheat Bread. On June 11, 2013, Murs released an album as lead vocalist of a band called The White Mandingos. The album is titled ''The Ghetto is Tryna Kill Me''.〔Frannie Kelley (August 13, 2013). "(The White Mandingos: Music That Defies Definition )". National Public Radio.〕 ==Career== Murs formed 3 Melancholy Gypsys with fellow Alexander Hamilton High School classmates Scarub and Eligh.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=LACMA: Through The Mic featuring Murs and 3MG )〕 The group became friends with Mystik Journeymen, and joined them in the Living Legends collective in 1996.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=MURS Biography )〕 His solo debut album, ''F'Real'', was released on Veritech in 1997. Alongside Slug, Murs has been part of the group Felt since 2002. ''The End of the Beginning'', his debut album on Definitive Jux, was released in 2003. Murs released ''Murs 3:16: The 9th Edition'', an album entirely produced by 9th Wonder, in 2004. Taking a more thoughtful approach than gangster rappers, it prompted Andy Gill of ''The Independent'' to say "eschewing bogus glamour for emotional realism, Murs manages to say more about the corrosive cancer of hip-hop's gun culture than all the thousands of column inches lavished on 50 Cent's bullet wounds". After another collaborative album with 9th Wonder, ''Murray's Revenge'', in 2006, Murs signed a contract with Warner Bros., his debut album for the label being ''Murs for President''. It was preceded by ''Sweet Lord'' which was given away free to fans. Murs released ''Varsity Blues 2'', a follow-up to his ''Varsity Blues'' EP, with production duties handled by Aesop Rock, Terrace Martin and Droop-E in 2011. He released ''This Generation'', a collaborative album with Fashawn, in 2012. Murs was invited by Sacha Jenkins, a hip hop journalist, to join the group The White Mandingos, a collaboration between Jenkins and Bad Brains bassist Daryl Jenifer.〔Jay Balfour (July 5, 2013). ("The White Mandingos Analyze Adam Yauch's Role In Their Formation" ). Hip Hop DX.〕 They released their first album, ''The Ghetto is Tryna Kill Me'', on June 11, 2013 under the Fat Beats record label.〔Jake Crates (March 4, 2013). ("Murs and New Group “The White Mandingos” Announce New Concept Album" ). All Hip Hop.〕 Murs has stated that the recording is a loose concept album about a man from "the hood" who struggles to maintain his identity while recording as a rock artist. The band members have acknowledged that the album is partially based on their own experiences.〔 On February 7, 2014, it was announced via Tech N9ne's Facebook page that Murs was signed to his record label Strange Music. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Murs (rapper)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
