Corey Miller is an American rapper from the
Calliope Projects in
New Orleans, Louisiana. Prior to
April 5,
2005, he used the stage name
C-Murder, and changed it to C. Miller. When asked why he chose the name, Miller has said "They call me C-Murder, cuz I see murder"; however, he has recently started using his former stage name of C-Murder once again.
He appears on
Ludacris'
Release Therapy album on a song called "Do Your Time" (also featuring the late
Pimp C and previously incarcerated rapper
Beanie Sigel; he is credited as C-Murder). He is the brother of
Master P and
Silkk the Shocker, uncle of
Romeo, and was at one time engaged to R&B singer
Monica.
Career
While awaiting a re-trial after his first murder conviction was overturned, C-Murder was put on
house arrest. Presiding Judge Martha Sassone allowed C-Murder to promote his new yet to be titled CD and novel,
Death Around the Corner, while under house arrest, but stated a
gag order in place pertaining to the case would remain in effect. The terms of the house arrest called for her permission for all visitors, including reporters.
On March 13, 2007, Judge Sassone granted Miller's request to work on his music career on a per request basis, but denied his request for a 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. curfew.
His long awaited and seventh studio album
Screamin' 4 Vengeance, was finally released in stores on July 1, 2008.
