Murphy Lee Experience

gain with P. Diddy and Nelly on his first single, "Shake a Tailfeather," which featured on the Bad Boys II soundtrack. The song soared to the top of the charts to become a #1 hit, selling over 2 million copies and winning a Grammy. Murphy Lee continued to top the charts with hits like "Wat the Hook Gon Be" and "Luv Me Baby," produced by Dupri and Jazze Pha, respectively – both landing on the Top 40 charts from his first platinum solo album, "Murphy's Law." After parting ways from his major record deal as an individual artist, still signed as a St. Lunatic, Murphy Lee decided to educate himself on the business and started UCME Entertainment in 2008. His hunger for success and love for music grew even more profound as he has since released five albums independently, including the latest. "2nd Time Around" reflects the times, as you'll hear one of the tracks which begins with the words of Nina Simone, highlighting her famous quote, "An artist's duty is to reflect the times." The album explores themes of love, growth, police brutality, and racism and offers something for everyone. "As artists and influencers of culture, we have the ability and responsibility to speak into culture and evoke change," says Murphy Lee. "I've learned a lot, which has molded me into a better man and artist today," says Murphy Lee. "I was a kid following the lead of a major label back then, but I'm doing it on my terms this time with full creative control." Producers on the album are Jay-E and Koko, who both worked with Nelly on "Country Grammar," along with Sag Live, Blue Strips, Zoom, Ghost and Bobsled. With a history of being a part of over 30 million albums sold, a Grammy, and countless top 40 hits, the humble, hungry and ambitious Murphy Lee continues to work with the drive of a rookie and the experience of a hall of famer.
