F'Real
Label: Veritech Records
Released: 1997
It is pronounced "Frill" (like "for real" said really fast. Not "eff
real.") It stems from a phrase coined by my little brother and myself when we
young lads.
As in:
Young Murs: Hulk Hogan just lost he belt to Ultimate Warrior!
Little Brother: F'REAL?!
Young Murs: Nah not f'real.
This was my first time I actually recorded with the thought that I would
combine a bunch of my songs in the form of an album to aptly convey my
thoughts on society and self, to the world. To complete this task I decided
to enlist a host of producers outside the Living Legends camp. One: it
was just easier. Two: I thought it would broaden our sound as a collective;
that way we all didn't have albums that were sonically similar.
The album
artwork was done by Shing02. The original release was a blue transparent
tape with a full color foldout cover (which was unheard of at the time.)
Most
memorable session for this album was, "Say Anything;" it was just a
drunken night of fun. Bicasso played the trumpet, I had just discovered
alcohol - Boone's Strawberry Hill to be specific, Arata was doing the chorus
in Japanese and it was one of the first songs we ever did in the our new
"studio." Fun. The Jerry Maguire Song is one of my favorites from this
album. It was the most introspective writing I had done till that point, and
one the best delivered rhymes on the album.
