It’s Wednesday and it’s time to go to studio with Keith Harris.
Every week from last Wednesday you can get to know one or two artists which were working with Keith Harris. If you missed our first visit of studio from last week you can read it here.

This week we are going to studio with Keith Harris, Murs and Ginuwine… Let’s join us…

Murs – Murs For President

Murs released his first single in 1993, taken from a self-released album by his first group, 3 Melancholy Gypsies (aka 3MG). The group became friends with Mystik Journeymen, and joined them in the Living Legends collective in 1996.

Murs appeared as a rapper on more than 20 records, EPs, and singles over a seven-year period, both on releases by 3MG and Living Legends. His debut solo album, The End of the Beginning, was released in the spring of 2003. He also worked with Slug under the name Felt, taking a more experimental approach. A second solo album, Murs 3:16: The 9th Edition, was produced by 9th Wonder. Taking a more thoughtful approach than gangster rappers, the album 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”. The track “Walk Like a Man” from that album inspired a film of the same name in which Murs starred along with Damien Wigfall. After another solo 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. This was preceded by Sweet Lord which was given away free to fans. Murs has recently announced a follow-up to his critically acclaimed 2002 EP, Varsity Blues, with production duties handled by notable producer Aesop Rock.

Murs for President is the seventh but the third solo/studio album by Murs, released on September 30, 2008. On this album you can find song called “Lookin’ Fly” (feat Will.i.am) which was produced and written by KEITH HARRIS… Murs – ”Murs for President” is available on iTunes.

Ginuwine – Back II da Basics

Back II Da Basics is the fifth album by American singer Ginuwine, released in the United States on November 15, 2005 on Epic Records. The album features production by Jazze Pha, Troy Oliver and Trackmasters in addition to others. “When We Make Love” was the lead single, followed by “I’m In Love”. The singles were not successful and this was Ginuwine’s first album to not have any singles making the Hot 100. It is also his lowest selling and charting album with peak position of 12 on the Billboard 200. A year later his record company produced a greatest hits compilation with almost no promotion presumably to end the album deal with Ginuwine.

KEITH HARRIS produced ”The Club” song from Ginuwine’s ”Back II da Basics” album… check out whole album on iTunes.
