May 23, 2008 - Atlanta, GA — Corey “C-Murder” Miller, most known for being a member of the trio TRU (which included his brothers Master P and Silkk The Shocker), as well as his familial and entrepreneurial ties to the No Limit Records empire, will be releasing his first studio album in five years on July 1st on TRU/Asylum Records. A product of the infamous Calliope Projects in New Orleans, C-Murder has dealt with a lot over the past few years however he has always managed to stay focused on his creative talents, a testament of his true strength. Even though his voice rarely goes above a casual speaking tone, when the southern-drawled MC talks, he speaks volumes. Born and raised in a city known for both its good times and crimes, C-Murder adopted his provocative moniker seeing murders, amongst other ruthless activities.
Before becoming one of the most popular solo artists on the label, TRU put themselves and their record company on the national map with their 1995 album True which spurned the worldwide anthem “I’m Bout It, Bout It.” Following TRU’s groundbreaking 1997 album Tru 2 Da Game, C-Murder embarked on what would become a successful solo career.
His first album, 1998’s multi-platinum Life Or Death proved to listeners that C-Murder was able to hold his own weight using a spectrum of influences ranging from Special Ed and Ice-T to 2Pac, showing that while he had a rough exterior to use in his favor, he also had immense artistic skills working for him too. His follow-ups, 1999’s platinum-selling Bossalinie, 2000’s platinum standout, Trapped In Crime and an appearance later that year on the 504 Boys’ smash “Wobble, Wobble” would only broaden his fanbase and cement his place in Southern Rap’s hierarchy. C-Murder would go on to follow his brother Master P’s mogul-making footsteps by founding TRU Records and releasing two more albums 2001’s C-P-3.com and 2002’s Tru Dawgs—with controversy following each one.
