What do you think of Jessie Murph’s “Blue Strips?” Let us know in the comments!

Jessie Murph:

It’s hard to just, like, say it all into one sentence. It’s like, I said I’m always writing based off my life. So it’s like, I’m summing up my year of 19 and 20, you know, into one era. But I don’t know. I’m just writing real stuff and stuff that I’m going through, and it’s definitely a roller coaster, and it takes you through even stuff that I dealt with as a kid, and like how it all leads into one thing and to another. I think on this project, I have some of my dream features, people that I just really love and respect and listen to a lot, but somebody specifically that has just always been my dream feature, it’s Lil Baby, and he’s on this project, and his music has really gotten me through a lot. And I just remember, like, listening to him when I was like, 16 and 17, just really, really going through it. And I would always put it on when I was like, really, just f—ing not feeling good. And it would always, like, inspire me to, like, get the f— up and go and get what I want. And so he’s been a very, just big part of my, like, growing up years musically, so that’s something that I’m really excited and, like, grateful to have him on this project. Okay, “Touch Me Like a Gangster” was actually the first song I made of this next era and album, it kind of like started it. I remember, I think I was listening to the song “Stand by Me,” I think it’s by Ben King, maybe. And so sonically, I kind of was in that world, and then I made that song. I don’t know, and I’m always writing, like, based off of my life. So I just came into the studio really inspired and I made that song, and then I played it for my team, and we hotboxed the car and listened to it, and it was just such a special moment.

Keep watching for more!
