On his major label debut, indie rapper Murs — known for his clever, humorous rhymes about the everyday man — sets out to save hip-hop from senseless debauchery. Yet while the politically charged Murs for President is lyrically sharp, its production zigzags with incongruously corny pop samples (like the Green Hornet theme on ''Lookin' Fly''). Murs fares best when paired with producer 9th Wonder (Little Brother), whose soulful tracks light fire under Murs' husky voice. President is patchy, but the consistent ''time to change'' message still makes Murs one of rap's most memorable lyricists. BDownload This: Listen to ''Can It Be'' on the rapper's MySpace page
