Thurz is gearing up for a hot year ahead. The rapper was on a bit of a hiatus but now, he's getting ready to release his forthcoming project, Party in My Living Room. Earlier this year, he released the song, "777-9311" and now, he's returned with his new track, "Long Live."

With production from Jake One, Thurz delivers a soulful track that finds him reflecting on the relationships in his life with family and friends that helped mould him into the person he is today.

"The track is about giving impactful people in my life their flowers while they can still smell them. An ode to all the family members and friends that have helped shaped my perspective as a man and human being," he said. "Their teachings along with life experiences create the necessity for 'realness' to be cherished forever. Jake One provided the perfect soundscape to reflect on all that has inspired me. Honor those you love while they're here."

Quotable Lyrics
Close to pure, they close the door
Still keep my hands open for
Pullin' up and pullin' out
It's still necessary for war
