Keith Murray is known for lyrically dense rhymes, but he needs to get more credit for his storytelling on and off the mic. The latter was on full display when he hit The Breakfast Club for an extensive interview.
The Long Island rapper had no problem detailing his past beefs, rolling with Erick Sermon and Redman, rapping with Juice Crew when he was a teen and whether or not him and Tupac ever got into a fight.
One particular nugget that stood out was how his past beef with Dame Dash started when Murray accidentally hit Kareem “Biggs” Burke’s car outside The Tunnel nightclub in New York City.

Murray confirmed that he once laid hands on Prodigy, among other rappers, due to that intro “The Start of Your Ending (41st Side)” on The Infamous album. Havoc said it wasn’t about Murray, but Prodigy kept talking, and well…
“Yeah, we got into it, I popped his head off. Pause.”-Keith Murray
Keith also scrapped with Dame Dash and details a convuluted story of how the beef started and the eventual scrapping began.
Keith Murray ran into Pac at the House of Blues and they discussed whether or not “I Shot Ya” (also “Who Shot Ya?”) was aimed at Pac. They never fought, beef was diffused.
Murray still says he never assaulted that kid in Connecticut, but the jury didn’t believe him and he caught a three year bid.
Keith Murray had no idea that Prodigy was going to be on LL’s “I Shot Ya” record with him.
On Erick Sermon: “He changed my life.” Respect.
Parrish Smith wanted to sign Keith Murray after the EPMD break up, but he was too loyal to Erick Sermon to make that happen.
Keith says he once traded verses with Kane thanks to his uncle who was the rap legend’s bodyguard and has footage of him rapping with the Juice Crew. He’ll put it out, one day.
