• Artist: Roy Murci
• Track: Piece of Mind
• Producer: Royal [for Fresh Republic]
• Album: Crown Royal

Like many artists, Roy Murci is both blessed and cursed with a brain that just won't turn off. For the Maryland emcee, rap isn't just a creative outlet; it's a safety valve for the thoughts constantly running round his mental. On the inaugural leak off his forthcoming, Booth-hosted street release, making its world premiere right here on our front page, the up-and-coming spitter blows off some intellectual steam in hopes that putting it all down on wax will win him a little 'Piece of Mind.' Fresh Republic member Royal provides a brooding instrumental to back the artist's reflections on the conflict between artistic integrity and the paper chase. If this introspective jam leaves you craving more, you'll find what you seek on Murci's Crown Royal street album, scheduled to hit the Booth November 12, for free streaming and download.
