The people have spoken, and we have a new president-elect…of hip-hop. That man is hometown hero and underground rap legend Murs. Murs' latest album and major-label debut, "Murs for President," has him poised to take his music and his message to a mainstream audience. This week in Metromix, we sit down with the man who would be prez to talk about the state of the nation.
Also this week, we get front-row seats to some debaucherous Christmas theater, round up our favorite stores for one-stop holiday shopping, cozy up to some log-cabin-style lounges, and sample the portable treats vying to become the next it dessert. All this plus new installments of our sex-advice column, our neighborhood guides and our original serial manga. Check it out in the print edition of Metromix, available free all over L.A., and online at metromix.com.
