KUR

Philadelphia has come to be known as the “land of the spitters,” where artists can differentiate themselves by out-rapping the competition. For Kur (pronounced “Core”), he’s been a conversation starter within the city’s hip-hop networks. In the summer of 2019 Kur dropped Shakur, which lead singles “Crack,” and “Soul” featuring Mozzy, helped the album reach over 10M combined streams on Apple Music and Spotify. In November 2019, he surprise released Spare Me which reached #14 on Apple Music’s Hip-Hop/Rap chart, #20 on its All Genres chart and prompted Meek Mill to proclaim Kur “the soul of Philly.” Lyrical, fiery and true to the craft, Kur’s new EP Young 79 expands on the heartfelt street aesthetic.
