C-Murder is back…well sort of! To make his was back into the game musically, he drops something new and impressive. On the new track, called “Hard 2 Be Black,” C-Murder links up with Boosie Badazz and Snoop Dogg.
“Judge he turn his nose up, sentence us bad/Life with no parole is how they sentence us blacks/Nine times out of ten, we killin’ our own kind/Liquor stores on the corner to kill us in due time.”
All three rappers speak about their own personal issue while addressing the current and public issues that faced daily in the African-American community. The No Limit rapper known professionally as C-Miller is currently serving a life sentence behind bars for the murder of a fan who had idolized him.
According to The Associated Press, District Judge Hans Liljeberg gave Miller, 38, the mandatory life sentence after the onetime No Limit Records rap star’s conviction in the 2002 shooting of 16-year-old fan Steve Thomas at a now-closed nightclub in Harvey, Louisiana.
Miller, who changed his rap name to C. Miller during the trial, was found guilty in the case on Tuesday morning, but Liljeberg made the jury return to deliberations because he suspected they had rushed their verdict to end deliberation. The rapper was convicted in 2003 in the same case but had that conviction overturned on appeal.
Thomas was a high school student who idolized Miller and his rapper brothers, No Limit founder Percy “Master P” Miller and Vishonn “Silkk the Shocker” Miller, and had even made some gold fronts out of golden ashtrays he got from work as an homage to the hometown hip-hop heroes. On the night of the shooting, Thomas told his father he was going to a movie but used a fake ID to go to the Platinum Club, knowing Miller would be there for a rap competition, in which Thomas performed, according to courtroom testimony.
