![]() ![]() He was like “I kind of respect Sublime!” He was very intelligent and very into music. I don’t listen to that white shit,” and then I kind of got into it. He was like “MURS, have you heard Kimye Dawson?” He was the first person to put me on The Beatles. ![]() She did the soundtrack for Juno, that’s what she’s most famous for. I put him on Rock The Bells, on the Paid Dues stage, and he was so into Kimye Dawson. Even now, we went to Minneapolis for Soundset and Mikey’s mom, I took my son to meet her, because I thought it was important that my sons know his mother and get to be in the house and the room that I met this amazing individual. It just reminds me that in this life you can choose your family, and the good part of it is that you can make a bond with someone that close, and the bad part is that the more friends you make, the more often you’re going to lose them. Shit didn’t affect me, but Mikey, aw man. I buried my next door neighbor, my brother, you know what I mean? And that didn’t affect me. My wife was like “What’s wrong?” and I was like “I miss Mikey, so much.” I didn’t talk to him every day, but just knowing that he’s not in the world made me so fucking sad. I remember one day I got up and I was bawling, just crying. I had lost homies that got shot and went through different shit and got locked up. ![]() I just get up and I miss my friend Eyedea some days.” Being on tour with the ¡MURSDAY! tour, Jesse was like “You should write to this beat! You should write to this beat!” I was like “I don’t know what to write to this. I just wanted to do something that kind of represented that vibe.įor me, recording with Jesse kind of brought back those feelings. ![]() I listen to all those songs when I go to funerals. I feel like for our side of things, there hasn’t been a “I Miss My Homies” or “Gangsta Lean” or “So Many Tears” or “Smile”. Unfortunately, I’ve lost and buried a lot of friends of mine. “I Miss Mikey”, I made a song about someone who’s been dead or lost in your life. We talked to MURS to get his perspective on the song, in which he revealed how Eyedea’s passing brought him more tears than close family members. Over a somber yet hopeful instrumental by Jesse Shatkin, MURS breaks down the effect that death has on his psyche, and how he, in turn, honors their memory. In honor of the late, great, and incredibly talented Eyedea (and to the dearly departed in general), MURS created “I Miss Mikey”. With “I Miss Mikey”, MURS ends his album Have A Nice Life with an ode to a fellow emcee, an underground legend, and a friend. ![]()
