Who said nice guys always win? MURTY throws this age-old myth out the window with his latest single, « Good Guy », a smooth yet poignant blend of R&B and hip-hop. With a mid-tempo beat that flows effortlessly, this track isn’t just a vibe—it’s a whole emotional rollercoaster. The Malaysian artist lays his heart bare, wrestling with the frustrating reality of being the « nice guy ». The haunting refrain—« Not everybody needs a good guy »—sticks like an afterthought, echoing the pain of being sidelined. The music video, directed by MURTY himself, perfectly captures this bittersweet narrative. Neon-lit drives, late-night studio sessions, and rooftop hangouts paint the picture of an artist caught between heartbreak and self-discovery. Slash Music presents this rising talent with an anthem that speaks to every « good guy » who’s ever been overlooked.
