C-Murder

Corey Miller, better known by his stage name C-Murder, is an American rapper. He initially gained fame in the mid-1990s as a part of his brother Master P's label No Limit Records, primarily as a member of the label's supergroup, TRU.

The younger Miller brother carved out a distinct lane within No Limit's sprawling empire, trading Master P's entrepreneurial thunder for raw street credibility that made albums like *Bossalinie* and *Trapped in Crime* essential New Orleans records of their era. As TRU's anchor alongside his brother and Silkk the Shocker, C-Murder proved he wasn't just riding family coattails—his production choices favored harder, more claustrophobic beats than the label's typical sound, giving his solo work a paranoid edge that matched his lyrical obsession with survival and betrayal. The 2002 murder conviction that derailed his momentum remains one of hip-hop's most contested cases, with supporters arguing the evidence was circumstantial and the trial tainted by Southern injustice.
