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.
