A native of Long Island, Keith Murray first hooked up with Erick Sermon (of EPMD) in 1994. The two worked together to produce Murray's debut single, "The Most Beautifullest Thing in This World," and the song became a hit by the end of the year. After an appearance on Sermon's album, Double or Nothing, Keith Murray released his first album in late 1994, and titled it after his hit single. The album was certified gold, and Murray delivered his second set near the end of 1996, titled Enigma. It's a Beautiful Thing followed in 1998. Around the time of its release of that album, Murray was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in jail for assaulting a fan. Shortly after he was released from prison in May 2001, Murray signed a deal with Def Jam Records, and released his fourth LP He's Keith Murray in 2003. But unfortunately, due to a physical altercation with one of his colleagues, Murray was dropped from Def Jam. Despite that, he was still able to release another album - in 2007 came Rap-Murr-Phobia (The Fear Of Real Hip Hop) under the KR Urban label.
