Two superstars of indie hip-hop, 9th Wonder and Murs have been putting in work for many years. Hailing from North Carolina and Los Angeles, respectively, they were originally best known for their group projects: 9th is the main producer behind Little Brother, while Murs is a top-shelf emcee and founding member of the mighty Living Legends crew. They teamed up in 2004 for the universally jocked *Murs 3:36 the 9th Edition*, which led to a series of collabo albums including *Murray\'s Revenge*, *Sweet Lord*, and *Fornever*. Billed as their last record together, *The Final Adventure* is loaded with the soulful, sample-driven beats and intelligent, autobiographical lyricism we\'ve come to expect. Murs sounds off about dead gangbangers (\"Funeral for a Killer\"), the pros and cons of L.A. life (\"Tale of Two Cities\"), and various relationships with the ladies (\"Dance on Me,\" \"Walk Like a Woman\"). A strong finish for one of the most consistently dope pairings in the game.
