Keith Murray and Canibus New Album

Only for the fans of lyrics — Keith Murray and Canibus are recording an independent rap album together, with Erick Sermon supplying the beats.

“What happened was, I think Keith Murray and Canibus were doing shows [and came up with the idea],” Sermon explained. “They’ve been doing shows for the last six months back and forth. I guess somebody stepped to them about putting something together. They called me to do the album. I think they’re two songs deep so far, but it’s kinda ill to hear them. Keith Murray is out-there, lyrically, and now Canibus is a step way further out-there than he is. It’s a dope mixture.”

Sermon promised that there will be no commercialism on the album — the duo aren’t going for airplay, they just want to capture the underground audience.

“It’s only for heads,” E said. “I don’t think there’s gonna be one radio record on there, just rhymes and concepts.”
