It's been years since anyone's seen Murs without his trademark dreadlocks, but the hairstyle is a wrap now, because he chopped them off.
The indie rap pioneer recently spent a few weeks on the East Coast, recording tracks for a new album ... during which, he felt it was time for a change.
Murs headed to Frank's Chop Shop in New York weeks ago, and changed his 'do ... opting to go with the mini-fro.
"Frank's Chop Shop, you changed my life. Now I'm gonna get laid, and paid. It's all because of you," the rapper says in a clip documenting the experience. "My name is Murs, you may not recognize me, I'm hot!"
What do you think of Murs' new hairdo?
Aside from a change to his physical appearance, Murs recorded tracks for his upcoming album, aptly titled Love & Rockets, Volume 1: The Transformation.
During his New York visit, he recorded with Ski Beatz, the producer behind legendary tracks for Jay-Z, Mos Def, Curren$y, Jay Electronica and many more.
The forthcoming album will drop this fall on Dame Dash's DD172/BLUROC labels, which will coincide with a 60-day tour alongside Tabi Bonney, McKenzie Eddy, Sean O Connell and Dash.
