Murs and Terrace Martin – It’s No Surprise.

Murs originally planned to release ten albums in 2010, but someone stole his laptop which contained most of the beats and lyrics. He still managed to release his album with Terrace Martin, which is the only one I really cared about. He told HipHopDX about the project last April, “I have a record with Terrace Martin called Melrose. It’s extremely raunchy and out of control. The cover itself is a statement.” Look closely. It’s subtle.

“It’s No Surprise” is a blast. No saxophones or social dialogue, just beer, blowjobs, and a banging beat. But wait, isn’t that all rap music? Yes, but Murs and Terrace are self-aware and take full advantage of how funny this rap shit can be. If only Waka Flocka had such a sense of humor.

Melrose is out today.
