Keith Murray - Rap Murr Phobia The Fear Of Real Hip Hop

Review by Vinícius Moro

Rap Murr Phobia: The Fear Of Real Hip Hop – A Raw Dive Into Keith Murray’s 2007 Gem Yo, let me tell ya somethin' about Rap Murr Phobia. This ain’t your typical shiny rap album. Nah, this is Keith Murray doing what he does best—spitting bars that feel like they’re straight outta a smoky cipher. Released in 2007 on Koch Records and Method Recordings, it’s got Erick Sermon all over the production, which means you know the beats slap harder than your grandma’s Sunday fried chicken. First off, can we talk about “Nobody Do It Better”? That track hits different. Like, real talk, I still bump this joint when I need to remind myself who runs things around here (spoiler alert: it's me). Keith comes through with his razor-sharp flow, weaving between Sermon’s funky-ass beat like butter melting on toast. And those horns? Chef’s kiss! You can hear the chemistry between these two legends—it’s like watching an old-school tag team wrestling match where nobody loses. Every time I listen to this one, I catch some new wordplay or clever punchline. It’s like Keith hid Easter eggs for us fans to find years later. Then there’s “Weeble Wooble.” Man, don’t even get me started. If you’ve ever been stuck in traffic after a long day at work, throw this on, and suddenly you’re not mad anymore—you’re just vibin’. The bassline alone could knock pictures off your wall if you crank it loud enough. Plus, the way Keith rides the beat makes you wanna grab a mic and try your hand at freestyling, even if you sound wack as hell. Tracks like this remind you why hip-hop will always be king; it doesn’t need no gimmicks, just raw talent and heart. Now, I gotta shout out Arnold Mischkulnig and Chris Athens for mastering this beast. They made sure every snare hit lands right in your chest while the highs stay crisp enough to give you goosebumps. Shoutout to Andrew Kelley too for the cover art—it’s simple but dope, kinda like how Keith keeps his rhymes unfiltered yet sharp. But here’s the thing about Rap Murr Phobia: it feels like more than just another album. It’s a statement. In 2007, mainstream hip-hop was getting flashier by the minute, but Keith stayed true to himself. He wasn’t trying to chase trends or fit into anybody else’s box. Instead, he doubled down on what made him great in the first place—lyrical prowess and gritty storytelling. So yeah, listening to this project now feels kinda nostalgic, like flipping through an old photo album. But honestly, isn’t that what good music’s supposed to do? Take you back while still feeling fresh? Anyway, random thought before I go: if Keith Murray and Erick Sermon ever decided to drop a sequel to this album, I’d camp outside the studio just to hear it first. No cap.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: Keith Murray's album *Rap Murr Phobia: The Fear Of Real Hip Hop* wasn’t just a solo effort. Erick Sermon, a legendary figure in hip-hop, produced most of the tracks and even co-wrote several songs. Fun fact—Erick also served as the executive producer, bringing his signature sound to the project. The album features an impressive lineup of contributors, including mastering by Arnold Mischkulnig and mixing by David "Gordo" Strickland. Oh, and it dropped in 2007 under Koch Records and Method Recordings, hitting shelves in both the US and Australia. It’s wild how many talented people came together to create this one!
