Keith Murray Biography :

Before Keith Murray ever recorded an album, he battled Big Daddy Kane, a man widely considered to be one of the greatest MCs of all time. At that time, Murray went by the name of MC Do Damage. Keith Murray did not win the battle, but he did earn the respect of Kane. Later, Murray would be introduced to Erick Sermon of EPMD by K-Solo. Sermon would feature Murray on his album No Pressure. Murray quickly established himself as one of the most creative lyricists in the industry with his first album The Most Beautifullest Thing in This World, released in 1994 on Jive Records. The title track from this album remains Keith Murray ’s biggest solo hit. This album was given 4 mics by The Source.

Keith Murray’s second album Enigma was released in 1996 on Jive. It received similar ratings from critics, but it was not quite as commercially successful as the previous album. In 1998, The Def Squad covered "Rapper’s Delight" by the Sugarhill Gang. They would later release their own album, El Niño. Murray’s third album It’s a Beautiful Thing was released in 1999 while he was in prison. Like the previous album, it received relatively good reviews, but it showed yet another drop in sales. Murray also appeared on the song "Home Alone" by R. Kelly. In 2001, Murray’s return to the music industry was announced with a memorable verse on "Fatty Girl." This song was featured on The Good Life, a compilation of songs for Fubu.

While he was in prison, Keith Murray began writing for his next solo album. Upon his release, he would leave Jive and sign with Def Jam. He’s Keith Murray was released in 2003. Murray claims to have chosen this title because the album represents him, but many fans saw it as an obvious attempt at crossover success because of singles like "Candy Bar" featuring Patti Austin. The album also featured the single "Yeah, Yeah U Know It." This song has guest appearances from fellow Def Squad members Redman and Erick Sermon. Murray dedicated "Christina" to his sister. That same year, Murray was featured on the video game Def Jam Vendetta. He is currently working on his fifth solo album RAP-MURR-PHOBIA that is scheduled for an July 31, 2007 release.

Hi Keith : if your phone # is still (718)495-2866 ; then someone, who found my Fusic LG cell phone, called ’you’ (or someone in your household) on Wednesday, June 27, 2007 at 8:45 PM & 8:48 PM consecutively. If you can help me locate my phone, ie : jog your memory if someone told you that they found a phone ; or if you know someone who would call Grenada, St. Vincent, or Jamaica ; or someone who rides the A-Train Subway (that’s where it was lost) ; please e-mail me at myrymsg@excite.com, and a reward can be offered. I would just like my phone back—I do not have funds available to replace the phone ; Sprint helped me take care of the bill up to 07/19/2007. Thank you so much for your time and help. I would appreciate your concern. And please do not laugh at me ; let’s have the faith in New Yorkers to do the right thing ! Sincerely, Miriam
