Max Burgundy “A Son’s Response” [VIDEO]

On The Murder of Mark Fuhrman, Burgundy’s breakout mixtape, the rapper bears his soul through a gaggle of flows, touching on the strained relationship with his mother on “Momma Tol Me,” coming off like an enlightened LL Cool J on the flowery “A La Mode,” and delivering an irie free association in “Want Some.” The Murder of Mark Fuhrman is the latest manifestation of an altruistic life view, the artist using his art to heal and to inform. “I rap because it’s a way for me to tell my story,” he says. “I have an obligation to do it because I know there are other people out there who have been like me, making a decision about whether to sell drugs… I rap for that kid. I rap for that loner, those people that really feel like they don’t have anything else, and not necessarily in the way that other people don’t have anything and they decided to go and be hustlers…that person that was always overlooked, that person that was born a loser, that person that was supposed to fail and is expected to and just doesn’t want to accept that.”
