According to Pitchfork, there’s currently no Guinness record for the feat, but in order to qualify, Murs has to keep recording for 24 hours. He began rapping at 9 a.m. PST on Wednesday (October 12) and is set to conclude Thursday at 11 a.m. PST, adding up to a whopping 26 hours. He’s granted one merciful five-minute break every hour, and his material consists of original compositions and hip-hop classics.
Murs conceived the stunt as a way to end the first season of his show Where You At? LA, and presumably as a way to test his love of (and endurance for) hip-hop. Speaking to Rolling Stone before the marathon, he said, “Combining my own compositions with songs I love by other artists should keep me amped up enough. If not, there’s coffee and coffee.”
