Off the album “Murs for President.” (On a sidenote: Murs touches on the sentencing disparities between crack convictions and cocaine convictions in this damn good video. President Obama is pretty overhyped so we try not to talk about him too much here at the Rumpus, but his administration is addressing this important issue, and that deserves to be mentioned.) <Video via everyone’s favorite, Doc Pop>
