About this title

About the Author:

Corey Miller, a.k.a. C-Murder, grew up in New Orleans' Third Ward in the notorious Calliope Housing Projects and went on to turn his pain into music. C-Murder made his rap debut in 1995 as part of the group TRU, along with his brothers Percy and Vyshonne, a.k.a. Master P and Silkk the Shocker.

The Miller brothers went on to form No Limit Records. Together they became the most powerful force to put southern hip hop on the map during the mid 1990s. TRU's album TRU 2 Da Game was certified platinum in 1997. C-Murder has been featured on numerous No Limit albums and movie soundtracks and has released six solo albums to date, including Life or Death, certified platinum in 1999, and Bossalini certified gold the same year. He appeared in the classic straight-to-video movie I'm Bout It and the hood comedy I Got The Hook Up.

C-Murder went on to establish TRU Records in 2001, continuing the family tradition of self-reliance and entrepreneurial spirit. Plans for TRU Gear, a sportswear line, are also in the works. His last album debuted at #1 on Billboard's independent chart in 2005. His highly anticipated comeback album will be released on Priority Records in 2007.

His debut novel, Death Around The Corner, is a work of fiction that brings to life a world destroyed by Hurricane Katrina: when New Orleans was America's murder capital and the Calliope Projects was the hardest place in the big easy.
