Corey Miller, better known by his stage name C-Murder, is an American rapper who rose to prominence in the mid-1990s as a part of the hip-hop movement in the southern United States, particularly associated with the rise of Master P's No Limit Records. Born on March 9, 1971, in New Orleans, Louisiana, he is the brother of Master P and the uncle of rapper Romeo. C-Murder's music is characterized by its gritty narratives, often reflecting the harsh realities of street life in New Orleans, and is noted for its hard-hitting beats and southern flavor.

C-Murder's career has been marked by both success and controversy. His debut album "Life or Death" was released in 1998 and achieved platinum status, firmly establishing him in the rap scene. He continued to release albums and hit singles such as "Like a Jungle" and "Dear Young Boy," with his music speaking to the struggles of urban life and the pursuit of freedom. However, his career was interrupted by legal issues; in 2002, he was convicted of murder, a charge he has repeatedly appealed and maintains his innocence against. His incarceration has not stopped him from releasing music, often recording over the phone or during times of lesser restrictions. Albums like "Give Me Freedom or Give Me Death" and tracks such as "The Black Grinch" and "Black Rain on Me" touch upon themes of resilience and defiance, serving as a critical voice from within the penal system. His work has continued to resonate with fans who view C-Murder not just as a musician, but as a symbol of the ongoing conversation about justice and inequality in America.
