JOURNALIST : What is your name and what city do you rep?

* M.U.R.D.A.H RUE
(Moving Under Rigorous Discipline Almost Home)

* Deep East Oakland, California

JOURNALIST : Tell us about your latest releases, what inspired you to create them?

* The song “Aquatinted” with MONSTA YO and Realz Sinatra…I was snooping thru Yo’s unreleased music, heard it and even worse heard that I wasn’t supposed to be on it, so I snuck a verse on there. Knowing that I had to make it hard for me to be out-rapped by whoever he was planning on featuring. Lol It worked out but I had 200 push-ups coming lol. So It worked out both ways. *(MONSTA YO) Long Beach, CA
JOURNALIST : What is unique about you and your music?

* Yeah about that song. This little mfer is a wiz with mixing and mastering…in a cell phone so I put him in charge of that department. My consequence for that is I get surprised with unsolicited verses. Lol He’s like a pesky little Brother but our musical chemistry is fire. I had different intentions for the song “Aquatinted” but it came out fire. 28k views in 30 days. So we’re celebrating that being that it was done from a prison cell. As we say…Runnin’ an OP (Operation) from a box”

JOURNALIST : When did you realize you were going to make music professionally?

I realized that I was going to make music professionally when Numbskull from the Luniz pulled me and my cousin Playboi backstage at a show in San Francisco, at Fort Mason and said, Y’all niggas next to be famous.” That still moves me to this day.

JOURNALIST : What type of music do you listen to?

* I listen to whatever song grabs my head and heart and good lyricist inspire me to write.

JOURNALIST : What inspires you to write music?

* I draw inspiration from the position I’m in. Being in prison they try to take the life outta you, figuratively. So creating music knowing the platforms MONSTA YO is able to make it reach is very inspirational.Again, it’s the fact that we’ve been in prison for a while now and people’s association of prisoners with cellphones is negative. We’re aiming to disrupt that connotation. I’ve seen guys rent phone just to help their daughter with her homework. It’s a shame how our creative outlet is limited. But, we’re maintaining with the help of God

I create what the Bay Area calls Mob Music with a today’s twist on it. I lived the life I’m illustrating, you can “Ghetto Google” me in Oakland and it’ll come back that I lived it before I rapped it. That’s what I consider unique. That along with the time I put into the metaphors and similes to show that the verse actually took some thought to compose.

JOURNALIST : What do you do when you don’t do music (creative or otherwise) and that you are passionate about?

I USE THIS LEISURE TIME CONSTRUCTIVELY BY WORKING OUT EXPANDING MY MIND TAUGHT MYSELF TWO LANGUAGES AS WELL AS PUBLISHED 7 BOOKS, got my degrees and always building so that what I learned pays off.

JOURNALIST : What do you wish you were told when you first started making music that you think would help artists just starting out?

I’ve been doing music for a while now and I’ve wanted to make it professionally even before they put the cuffs on me, lol. It’s a destiny thing to me. I’ve watched my followers go up faster than my views and streams. If I don’t continue to do it professionally I’ll have a lot of explaining to do.I listen to whatever song grabs my head and heart and good lyricist inspire me to write.BASICALLY THE SAME THING. SONGS THAT SPEAK TO MY SOUL INSPIRED ME TO LISTEN AND WRITE.

JOURNALIST : Where do we find you music / music projects?

* On all digital platforms and on Instagram @cmb_murdah_rue make sure you spelled just like that cuz we both got fake pages now that people been making you know we almost famous. Lol
