pah..HIP-HIP DEAD??..nah more like Re-birth..C-MURDER
Tragedy is one word we all can relate to. From the economy today, to ridiculous gas prices, to fledgling Hip- Hop sales ,we have all been witness to tragic situations. One person who has been hit hard with tragedy is Corey "C-Murder" Miller. Hailing from New Orleans' notorious Third Ward Calliope Projects (CP-3), C-Murder has been screaming for vengeance since a young age after seeing several murders (this is where his name stems from), experiencing poverty, to his family being heavily effected by Hurricane Katrina. But C would come to face his most life-changing tragedy in 2002. Early that year, he was charged with second degree murder for his involvement in the killing of a 16-year old boy and faced life in prison without parole. All this around the same time he was charged with disturbing the peace at a night-club that he was banned from for a previous more serious incident.
All the negativity in Murder's life has just overlooked the major amount of success hes earned. Through the early to late '90s, he was one of the highest ranking officials in one of the south's fore fathering movements The No Limit Soldiers. Breaking into the game with his brothers Silkk the Shocker and No Limit CEO and founder Master P, C-Murder made his debut as a TRU member. With critics quickly comparing the Young Buck to a southern Tupac, C initially had a hard time shaking off the comparisons. TRU's second album, Tru 2 Da Game, topped Billboard charts and sold over two million copies. That built momentum for C's first solo LP, Life or Death, which garnered platinum success. He continued to release successful albums, guest appearances and even create his own musical imprint, TRU Records.
Through all of his situations, C-Murder has been cool, calm and level headed. Hes done his time (in and out of prison) and has paid his dues all while still keeping his head up. Currently on house arrest, he
