Rapper Keith Murray, who is currently in South Africa working on his next album with local artists, was robbed on Tuesday (September 18) and is offering a reward the returned of the stolen goods.

According to local paper Pretoria News, the rapper lost "the last 12 years of his work" stored on the Apple Mac and was now desperate to get it back.

The paper reports that two armed men stormed into the Cube recording studios in Parkview, South Africa at around 10 p.m., holding up Murray and several other individuals with him.

Two men reportedly took four laptops, cellphones and cash.

Lance Stehr, CEO of Ghetto Ruff, a local record label, said that two other accomplices waited outside while the robbery went down.

"When the guys left they even had the cheek to shout 'Hey Fassie boy, continue making hits'," Stehr told the paper.

Murray was in South Africa recording a track using Brenda Fassie's "Weekend Special," with her son, Bongani Fassie, as the producer.

they probably did him a favor because i did'nt know who he was before this, his lost "art" is probably worthless anyways, especially if he was working with bongani fassie.

It`s sad that Kieth Got Mugged in South Africa. Truth is they were not after Kieth. They was after Brenda`s Son "Bongani Fassie". None the less it`s not cool to get robbed. Bad move on Kieth not backing up to an external drive and storing it somewere safe. Rapper in South Africa aint gangstas. Most of them dont even sniff coke or hold guns. Like they say in Ogame "VFR" meaning very fast rebuild. Meet the villan with a thousand faces. I`ll stab you up in a 1000 places. Got to love Kieth. But Fuck Them other cats he was with. Serves you mother fuckers right for polluting the industry with kak music. That aint even rap you bubble gum bitch niggers

I'm from South Africa Jimmy and what do you mean them african niggas we not as backward as you think. Anyway that's how it goes in South Africa if you flaunt your ish you get mugged. Whether you're George Bush,Queen Elizabeth or Keith Murray. Big Ups to Keith tho for doing a track in Johazardousburg.
