Keith Murray Returns With ‘Rap-Murr-Phobia’

By Quibian Salazar-Moreno

      Four years ago, Keith Murray quietly dropped his album, “He’s Keith Murray,” on Def Jam Records with little fanfare. Now Murray is set to drop his new album, “Rap-Murr-Phobia,” through Koch Records on July 31. The title of the album, in Murray’s words, means “fear of real hip-hop.”

      The album will feature his Def Squad compatriots Erick Sermon and Redman as well as contributions from Tyrese, Method Man and Junior. The video for the first single from the album, “Nobody Do it Better,” featuring Tyrese and Junior, will be shot in Los Angeles this month. Murray is also planning a club tour in all major markets this summer.
