C-Murder grew up in the 3rd Ward Calliope Projects in New Orleans. C 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. From the amateur underground albums to the new famed albums, C-Murder has always been part of the group TRU. March 1998, C-Murder released his first solo album, Life or Death, which went platinum. After making his solo, he introduces his future record label, TRU Records. The first album on TRU Records was Magic's debut album, Sky's The Limit. His favorite rappers are 2Pac and Easy E. In a magazine article 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 then he takes it as a compliment. C said he is usually the one who comes up with the ideas of doing remakes or covers of songs. In a Vibe Magazine 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. D, and Aaliyah's song became, Fedz within two days. C's song TRU? On the multi-platinum album, TRU 2 Da Game, is a remake of an old NWA song. So is Cluckers on his, Life or Death album, and D.P. Gangsta, a song C appears on, on Snoop Dogg's first No Limit release, Da Game Is To Be Sold, Not To Be Told. C is good at changing his styles to match the beat. Like on, Cemetery Made off, Mr. Serv-On's album, Life Insurance, there is an eerie type beat. C makes the song dope by his whispering type rap. C-Murder also released his second album Bossalinie which went Gold within a month. C-Murder just released his third solo album Trapped In Crime and it is very close to gold status. C-Murder is also kicking off TRU Records which will have a number of young talented artists coming out in the future.
