If you don’t already know about Kur, you should get to know this up-and-coming artist fresh out of Philadelphia that is building a respectable fanbase with his life stories. Last week, Kur is back to give us an update on his life with a hard-hitting 11-track project 180, that is gaining heavy momentum for the young emcee.

Kur’s 180 project features Casey Veggies, Chynna, Coop and Eline The MC. While most of the production is handled by young standout producer Maaly Raw. This project isn’t lacking too much of anything, Kur’s delivery is on point, the beats are hard-hitting and supreme and the features are just enough to not take the focus off of the artist’s own shine.

We look forward to seeing what this talented artist will do next. In the meantime, check out 180 below.

Illa-delphia dweller, Kur, is up next to blow.

If you appreciate dope sh*t,  now is definitely the time to get familiar with the kid.  Although he’s only 21, Kur has a wise mentality and delivers reality on his most recent offering “Have Nots“.  The visual, premiered on BET Jams earlier this week, exhibits a young man in deep thought, effortlessly flowing over soulful production provided by Don Cheese.  Good music still matters and receiving approval and respect from some of hip-hop’s heavyweights (Meek Mill, Timbaland, Pusha T) goes to show you that.

Overall, I rate it a valid record.  Peep the visual below and feel free to drop us your thoughts.
