When Murs for President came out, it was a time when the United States was in the middle of a tense political and social climate. We were on the cusp of a new election, a deep financial crisis, and social media revealed itself as a leading form of mass communication. In an era when we felt bombarded by popular culture, Murs humorously, profoundly commented on the state of things, in turn contributing to a voice of a generation. A couple of years have passed since Murs for President, and many things have changed for us. The feeling of being overwhelmed has turned into a subtle blasé toward all things, a certain nonchalance for the otherwise shocking.

Cue This Generation, the new collaboration album between Murs and XXL Freshman Class alumni Fashawn. The album, which features beats by production duo Beatnik & K-Salaam, was created with the intention to identify with its namesake. FLuD Way TV got the opportunity to speak with the two artists for a light-hearted interview about their creative influence. After the short interview, the artists gave us an a cappella sneak peek of what to expect on their album. Check out This Generation on iTunes and in record stores nationwide, released via Duck Down Music.
