C-Murder
Real Name: Corey
Miller Nickname(s):
C-Murder, Da Killa,
$50 Hometown: 3rd
Ward Calliop Projects,
New Orleans
C-Murder is really the
scout for No
LimitRecords. He's the
one who looks for new
talent and brings them
to Master P to see if
he/she's got what it
takes to become a No
Limit Soldier. He grew
up in 3rd ward
Calliope Projects in
New Orleans. He has
the same siblings as
Master P and Silkk.
He lived that hard
rough street life;
cutting school,slanging
drugs, stealing, etc.
Like Silkk, when
Kevin died, C-Murder
moved to Richmond
with his mother and
brothers, and dreamed
of starting a new life.
As Master P started
seeking the
underground rap
scene, C-Murder got
involved with P and
started rapping and
producing. From the
amateur underground
albums to the new
famed albums,
C-Murder has always
been part of the group
TRU. Then in mid-
March of '98,
C-Murder released his
first solo album, "Life
or Death." After
making his solo, he
introduces his future
record label, TRU
Records. So far,
C-Murder has signed
Magic, a local New
Orleans artist, and QB,
who made his debut
act on a commercial
off C's album. His first
albumon TRU Records
will be Magic's "Sky's
The Limit," in stores
September 15th. C
also followed in his
brother, Master P's,
footsteps by coming
up with his own group,
Tank Dawgs. Tank
Dawgs consists of four
members: C-Murder
himself, Fiend, Mac,
and the newest
member, Snoop Dogg.
C-Murder is also in the
mix of working on his
second solo release,
"Bossalinie,"
sometime in '99. He is
currently going out
with the R&B singer
Monica. His favorite
rappers are 2Pac and
Easy E. In an article
somewhere C-Murder
responded to the
statement that he
sounds like Pac by
saying he doesn't think
he does, but if people
say he does he takes it
as a compliment. C
said he usually the one
who comes up with
the ideas of doing
remakes or covers of
songs. In a Vibe
article, C said he was
driving home from
Baton Rouge one day
when he heard
Aaliyah's "If Your Girl
Only Knew" on the
radio, before he
arrived home he
bought her CD,
slipped it to Mo B. and
Aaliyah's song became
"Fedz" within two
days. C's song "TRU
?'s" on Tru 2 Da Game
is a re-make of an old
NWA song. So is
"Cluckers" on Life or
Death and "D.P.
Gangsta", a song C
appears on on Snoop's
new joint. Rapping
Style: In the early days
most of C-Murders
raps were crazy cause
he was deeply affected
by the death of his
brother Kevin Miller. I
think he sounds alot
like Master P, in a few
songs it's hard for me
to tell the difference.
When him and P do
duos like on
"Akickdoe" and
"Mama Always Told
Me" I bob my head.
Them two niggas
sound tight together.
He is also good at
changing his styles to
match the beat. Like
on "Cemetary Made"
off of Life Insurance,
there is an eerie type
beat. C makes the
song dope dope dope
by his whispering type
rap. He can also get
rowdy if neccessary,
like on "No Limit
Niggas" off Kane &
Abel's new joint. Off
of TRU To The Game
the two songs "Eyes
Of A Killa" and
"Torcher Chamber"
are C-Murder's two
solo tracks on the
album. He often deals
with subjects of death
and rough upbringing.
Overall he is one of
the tightest soldiers on
the tank.
