Keith Murray (born September 13, 1974, Central Islip, New York) is a rapper and a member of the rap trio Def Squad, which includes fellow rappers Redman and Erick Sermon.
Keith Murray had a rough childhood. Both of his parents used intravenous drugs. Both died when Murray was young. When Murray was in eighth grade, his father died from cirrhosis of the liver. His mother later died from AIDS. His sister would also die from AIDS. In 2001, Murray married publicist Tammy Brook. He has since divorced. Currently Murray is managed by Mary Sierra.
Before Keith Murray ever recorded an album, he battled Big Daddy Kane, a man widely considered to be one of the greatest MCs of all time. At that time, Murray went by the name of MC Do Damage. Murray did not win the battle, but he did earn the respect of Kane. Later, Murray would be introduced to Erick Sermon of EPMD by K-Solo. Sermon would feature Murray on his album No Pressure on the Single “Hostile”. Murray quickly established himself as one of the most creative lyricists in the industry with his first album The Most Beautifullest Thing in This World, released in 1994 on Jive Records. The title track from this album remains Murray’s biggest solo hit. This album was given 4 mics by The Source.
Murray’s second album Enigma was released in 1996 on Jive. It received similar ratings from critics, but it was not quite as commercially successful as the previous album. In 1998, The Def Squad covered “Rapper’s Delight” by the Sugarhill Gang.
