The End of the Beginning is a studio album by American rapper Murs.

John Bush of AllMusic described The End of the Beginning as "one of the most refreshing rap records in years.

Club called it a "stellar label debut".

[9] In XLR8R, Philip Sherburne praised "Murs' lyricism, which combines an unhurried, conversational flow with a confidence so solid he needn't resort to boasting".

[10] Louis Miller of CMJ New Music Report said, "While delivering bold statements against wannabe gangstas and shaking his head at record industry politics, Murs manages to marry street-life thug-appeal with intelligent lyricism and spitfire delivery, attempting to bring The End to corporate Hip-Hop.
