Platinum
Rapper C-Murder Returns With New Screamin’
4 Vengeance Album, In
Stores March 20
Innovative
Video For Lead Single “Posted On Tha Block” Was Shot In
New Orleans
And Features Snoop Dogg;
 Buoyed
by red-hot single “Posted On
Tha Block,” platinum rapper C-Murder
returns with Screamin’
4 Vengeance, a searing collection of hardcore music that
features the rapper delivering his signature brand of bone-crushing
rap and bluntly addressing the circumstances surrounding his
incarceration for a 2002 murder he says he did not commit.
“A
lot of people want to know what’s going on with me and what my
personal feelings are as far as what I’ve been through the last
five years,” C-Murder
says from his
Louisiana
home. He was sentenced to life in prison, but was released
when his conviction was overturned. “I expressed it on ‘Posted
On Tha Block,’” C-Murder
continues. “The public’s getting a basic picture of what
I’ve been through, how I feel and what’s going on in my mind
from that song.”
Estevan
Oriol (D12, Cypress Hill) directed the innovative video for “Posted
On Tha Block.” The veteran lensman, who
shot the clip in
New Orleans
and shows the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, used the Dream
Sequence program to give the clip a storybook-like feel. C-Murder
is under gag order by the court and could not appear in the video,
other than still photos, which lead to the innovative use of
photography and other assets for the video. Snoop Dogg, a
longtime C-Murder
friend and collaborator, makes a cameo in the video, which promises
to be one of the most talked-about videos of 2007.
Screamin’
4 Vengeance
contains the gritty,
confrontational music typical of C-Murder’s
classic recordings. Guests on the album include Chamillionaire
(“Everybody Gotta Go”), LeToya (“Now That Your Back”), Slim
Thug (“Down South”) and Pimp C (“Can’t Stop Me”).
Screamin’
4 Vengeance also
marks the rebirth of Priority Records, the legendary independent
label that launched the careers of N.W.A, Ice Cube, Eazy-E, Master P
and a host of others.
