Incarcerated rappers recording and releasing songs, mixtapes, EPs and even full-length albums from prison has been going on for quite some time, but the upcoming collaboration between Boosie Badazz and C-Murder, who is currently serving a life sentence at the Louisiana State Penitentiary in Angola, has caught the attention of authorities. C-Murder, who is the brother of No Limit Records boss Master P, is set to release Penitentiary Chances in the Spring of 2016, and police are investigating how he recorded the material from his jail cell, with the case's priority escalating after the release of the music video for the track, "Dear Supreme Court."
The hip-hop artist, whose real name is Corey Miller, was sentenced to life in prison for the 2002 nightclub shooting and murder of 16-year-old Steve Thomas. Eyewitnesses claim that he shot the minor after an argument at the club, resulting in Thomas dying from his wounds later.
If you've heard the new song "Dear Supreme Court," you understand that C-Murder believes his lawyer failed in his defense case, and is hoping to get out of jail. Since he released a strongly worded single, along with a powerful music video earlier this month, with plans of dropping the new album soon, authorities are not happy.
"The Louisiana Department of Corrections began looking into how Miller managed to record material from behind bars in January, when reports of a new album first surfaced," the spokeswoman for the prison, Pam Laborde, announced this week, according to XXL. "The department regrets that the victim's family (and much of the public) cannot be spared from this. However, it appears that associates of the offender are responsible for content on these pages and it is very difficult for investigators to remove the pages."
