Thurz

Thurz, born Thurzday Michael Currie, is an LA-bred rapper and producer who carved his path as one-half of the forward-thinking duo U-N-I in the late 2000s before flourishing as a solo artist. Known for blending introspective storytelling with West Coast grit, his music often tackles themes of identity, social justice, and Black resilience, as heard in projects like his 2011 solo album *LA Riot*, a raw homage to his city’s complex history. Recent drops like *On Mommas* and *Immaculate Skin* continue this tradition, pairing soulful production with candid reflections on community and self-worth. A collaborator at heart, he’s shared tracks with Cocoa Sarai, DJ Rhettmatic, and others, keeping his sound rooted in LA’s hip-hop pulse while pushing boundaries. Whether spitting fiery bars or crafting moody beats, Thurz remains a lowkey staple in the scene—unapologetically real and always evolving.
