Underground living legend MURS and 9th Wonder are at it again with ForNever, the pair’s third, and possibly best, collaborative album. Staying true to his popular personal as a rapper of the people, the multi-talented hip-hopreneur will embark on a 25-city tour starting April 14 through May 23.

While MURS is always down for group projects (with 9th Wonder, Living Legends, as one-half of Felt with Atmosphere’s Slug), the melancholy gypsy will head out on the road solo this spring. Catch him performing live versions of tracks from ForNever, including “I Used To Luv Her,” a remake of Common’s mid-1990s classic and “The Problem Is…,” a powerful examination of the struggle to make an honest living. Due in stores April 13 from SMC Recordings, ForNever features Kurupt, Suga Free, Verbs, Sick Jacken and Uncle Chucc.

But before MURS mixes it up with coeds and takes a bite out of the Big Apple, the California-based rapper will be performing at his own Paid Dues festival for the first time April 3 at the National Orange Show Events Center in San Bernardino, Calif.
