Last month, one of C-Murder’s TRU-Bossalinie Records artists revealed that the incarcerated rapper was planning to release a joint album with Boosie Badazz. It turns out that the project is a real thing and the two recently updated fans with the tracklist and cover art for Penitentiary Chances.
According to a tracklist shared by HipHopDX, Penitentiary Chances will consists of 20 tracks, including its first single, “Under Pressure.” The album will feature guest spots from underground rappers like Dinero, 2Meka and Vs, as well as Snoop Dogg, who appears on a track titled, “It’s Hard 2 Be Black.”
The song, which highlights the life of a black man in America, was originally released back in December 2014. In the past, Snoop and C-Murder collaborated on the track “Down For My N’s.”
The Penitentiary Chances project reportedly came about while Boosie and C-Murder were both incarcerated in Louisiana's Angola Prison.
C-Murder is currently serving a life sentence following the rapper's conviction in the 2002 shooting of 16-year-old fan Steve Thomas at a now-closed nightclub in Harvey, Louisiana. The teen reportedly used a fake ID to get into the club where he was beaten by C-Murder's entourage before the rapper shot him.
Boosie was released from prison in March 2014. The rapper served a 52-month sentence for a drug conviction and probation violation. In 2010, he was indicted on first-degree murder and drug charges. He was found guilty of the latter and eventually sentenced to eight years in prison.
