C-Murder - Life I Live
Artist: C-Murder
Producer: T-Rhythm
Album: Tomorrow
Label: 48 Tracks Entertainment/Tru Records
C-Murder has always lived a more controversial life than even your average rapper…except maybe Eminem. Now, more than ever, the Down South emcee is under fire and has decided to respond musically. Releasing one of his first records since beginning a life sentence for murder in Louisiana’s Angola Prison, C-Murder gives us Life I Live: an introspective piece produced by T-Rhythm. Featuring a heart-swelling chorus, Life I Live is a song about desperation and inspiration, where C-Murder speaks about his ability to overcome his past woes and lead a better life. The excerpts of his court house recordings are key, and they give the track an innate sense of reality that only someone with a past like C-Murder’s can convey. While not exactly a lyrical miracle, Murder uses Life I Live to eloquently create one of his best songs to date. If you’re feeling this like I am, then be sure to cop his album Tomorrow, which will be out in June.

Having gone years (and I mean YEARS) since last I heard a great C-Murder joint, I didn't know what to expect from this "new" offering. However, 30 seconds in and I must say I was pleasantly surprised.
Quentin said it all above (well done, Q), so I'll simply agree and look forward to my interview with C very soon.

Haha its been to long C! I really do miss him at his peak, but this still isn't there. Its the closest in a while, but still not there. Good rotation record anyway.

If any rapper has troubles it always comes into their music and enhances it. It's good to hear that hopefully he can get back onto track cause some of his songs weren't that great. It's a good rotation song, but not really feeling the sound of the chorus but it is uplifting. Good song by him, hope he continues to get back to his old status. Good luck to him and his troubles.

He put all his heart and emotion on this track. Just from the first verse, his lyrics definitely get you to understand his struggles and pain. The lyrics are average but the emotion poured on this uplifting production gives it rotation status.

I've always been a fan of C-Murder even if he is a criminal and a murderer. He hasn't come out with something good in a while but I actually felt his pain in this and I respect it.
The hook was probably the weakest part of the song and who was singing it anyways? The production adds to the overall emotion and it allows Murder to invoke how he will get past everything and move on. He has never been someone to blow you away with lyrics but you have to respect what he has to say on here. |

On the real, I've never been a big C-Murder fan, but this track's so personally honest I can't help but be sucked in. It's a shame it's taken such struggle to push the man's music to new heights, but music can be a remedy in the hardest of times.

Radio banger right here! C-Murder has a hard voice and he mixesa bit of Kanye West old music styles to his production. He goes real on this track, explaining about his life, something most rappers fantasize about. He gives a new edge to his music.

Combined with some deep heartfelt lyrics combined with a nice sample on the hook, this was a pretty cool track. First verse starts and C-Murder emerges victorious. His flow is mixed in his voice is bound to have people coming back for me. While I wish I could say I was part of this group, this is not my type of song, regardless of whether or not everything came together nicely.
The piano in the production was addicting. All three of Murder's verses were very consistent and as a result I agree with all the four star ratings. C-Murder is without a doubt a force to be reckoned with. |

Sh*t I love piano-laced beats. The hook is heartfelt and nice. C-Murder spits true lyrics. But with a name like C-Murder, you can see why he lives the life he lives.

This is just... wow. The emotion he puts into his lyrics are the best part, and the flow caused by it is complemented greatly by the production.

Even though the flow is technically well pulled off, I'm not a fan, cuz it's too standardized and that takes away the expressiveness a heartfelt song like this needed imo.
But the last verse was a surprise, I looked up to see who was the feature, but that's the same guy huh? ;) Well put together overall! |
