About

  • Philadelphia has come to be known as the “land of the spitters,” where artists can differentiate themselves by out-rapping the competition. For Kur (pronounced “Core”), he’s been a conversation starter within the city’s hip-hop networks.

    Kur began bubbling with a string of mixtapes that put his rapping in the forefront and began working with artists like Dave East, Lil Uzi Vert, A$AP Twelvyy, Quilly, and Lil Reese, and more, and with cosigns from Timabland, Pusha T and Meek Mill.

    He has since risen to a be a community staple not only through music, but also by giving back to supporters.

  • In the summer of 2019 Kur dropped Shakur, which lead singles “Crack,” and “Soul” featuring Mozzy, helped the album reach over 10M combined streams on Apple Music and Spotify.

  • In November 2019, he surprise released Spare Me which reached #14 on Apple Music’s Hip-Hop/Rap chart, #20 on its All Genres chart and prompted Meek Mill to proclaim Kur “the soul of Philly.”

  • His latest independent release ‘THURL’ is a journey through KUR’s maturity over the past couple of years, completely focusing on his music with no distractions and more patience.
