C-Murder: Well you know the judge granted me a new trial, so what I'm doing is waiting on a trial date so they can just drop the charge and let me out of here.
WOS: You have any idea when they will set a date?
C-Murder: Well hopefully it supposed to be any day now right now I tell ya it could be this month or next month so I know for a fact that at latest next month I'll know something.
WOS: So they haven't tried delaying things to slow the whole process down?
C-Murder: Nah, not that I know of. I been checkin' all that trying to prevent all that. So, I doubt it's that. It's taking that amount of time to just figure out if they gon' set a trial date or just ya know dismiss this charge.
WOS: If you to get out tomorrow, after spending time with your kids, what would be the first thing you do?

C-Murder: Well, ya know it's straight gritty. The old C-Murder is straight gutter ruff rugged ya heard me. Spittin' how it spose to be spitted, ain't trippin' on what's happening out there with the radio, mainstream, and video. It just me spittin' how I'm feeling right now. The trials and tribulations and stuff that I'm going through, what I feel like doing. Not tainted by the system and worrying about being put on BET and all that stuff, it's me 100%. At the same time I upgraded my game too and everybody that heard it so far saying it's the best thing I been put out yet, so that giving me a good feeling.

C-Murder: Ya know I just heard the beat and me and him were dealing with each other. I was talking to him and he was messing with Slim at the same time ya know. It was bound to happen because every time we see each other in the street he'd come and just chill. I'd throw a party and he'd just come. I just heard that beat and felt he needed to be on there. So I called him up, sent it to him, he laced it up.
WOS: Why did you decide to choose this as the first single?
C-Murder: I got the response from everybody, they was feeling that, so they were like yeah let's do this one first, let's do the video, let's handle that. I could see it was gone be nice. It was my decision and everybody around me that deal with me decision.
WOS: How was the video shoot?
C-Murder: Oh yeah it was crucial, everything went smooth, wasn't no altercation, no problem, everything was smooth, it was lovely. The final edit crucial I done seen it. They put it together and showed me. I think when they see it come on TV they gon' be trippin'. It definitely gonna be history because it's from the blocks ya heard me and it from the Calliope, so that's the two sets in there.
WOS: You did the Southern Smoke 16 with DJ Smallz….you got any other mix tapes you trying to do before the album drops?

WOS: That's tight man
C-Murder: Do some talent shows and get some more new talent basically like a clean slate right now.
WOS: How is the transition from writing songs to writing books?
C-Murder: Well, ya know it kind of the same thing you just gotta get more in depth with the book. You can describe more and you can get people more details with the book. The main part is plotting it up and having ideas ya know, sitting here writing about all I been through already.
WOS: The new TRU album dropped this week…you're only on one track. Why is that?
C-Murder: Well, ya know the TRU album was basically done, I ain't know nothing about it till the last minute, then they hollered at me and said what's happening so I sent them this song.
WOS: Fans know that it isn't a real TRU album with you being on one song, Silkk on 3 songs, and a new guy…it isn't T R U ya know?
C-Murder: Yeah, well ya know they should of waited till I touched down ya feel me?
WOS: Right
C-Murder: But it didn't go down like that so ya know you just gotta do ya thing ya feel me?
WOS: If you've been able to keep up with them, what newcomers have you been feeling since you been locked up?
C-Murder: Man no man! this place crazy they aint got no BET, no MTV, no local channels, now the radio cut off no radio. That's probably all because of me, once I came in and got the local station Phat Phat we used to cut the music on for days and now we got nothing. It's crazy I really aint got nothin' to listen to, vibe on or nothing. With this album I'm putting out the TRUest shit I ever said. It ain't tainted bout nothing ya heard me, it's street. I ain't been able to hear no music in a couple of years, it just be coming how I'm coming.
WOS: "Life or Death" is widely regarded as one of the greatest No Limit releases ever, what do you think makes it stand out as a classic?
C-Murder: Man I think it because ya know a lot of people could relate to it and what I give to em. It's going to be real, it ain't being tainted by nobody, telling me I can't do this, can't do that. When I get in the studio I feel like I'm free to do what I want man I ain't trying to hear nothing. I was straight off the block too so you know they getting that straight ruggedness ya feel me?
WOS: Yeah man
C-Murder: Plus it was a quality album ya know lyrics and everything was there 100%.
WOS: What were the recording sessions like?
C-Murder: Recording sessions was crucial man, you know everybody in there, everybody waiting to see what's happening with what I got to say. Once I get the lyrics down everybody in there was loving it, the whole clique, and the whole tank ya know. It was family, the whole No Limit family was real. Turn the lights down, light a candle get in there and lay that thing.
WOS: On the song "Betya" from your "TRU Dawgs" album you had numerous disses towards Mystikal, Cash Money, and Juvenile. What caused you to diss them on wax?
C-Murder: There was a lot going on wit that. These rumors going along around town. There was just a lot of shootin' they mouth talkin' bout fuck No Limit and all that shit and it was just getting' out of hand, I had to settle that shit straight. You know I ain't wit all that bickering and fightin' and shit, but at the same time man just slow that down before it get real ya feel me. So I had to stop a lot of that bullshit from happening before it escalated into something serious ya dig. Your mouth can only hold so much before you throw up. After that I hollered at them personally and handled that like a man suppose to.
WOS: A lot of cats been screaming free C-Murder. Has anyone outside your family reached out to you for real support?
C-Murder: Fans been writing me ya know and let me know what's happenin', that been keeping me going. It had put me in that frame of mind to put this album out because they wanna hear me, they down for me, they gon' handle that, they got my back. They been doing that for me brah and I gotta have much respect and love for that. There been a few cats that reached out like Capone and some of the cats on my album. All that's on my album that's family. Niggaz that be calling me saying I got ya whodi whatever ya need. So everybody that on my album them the muthafuckaz that be holdin' it down.
WOS: Is there anything that you want to say before we end this here?
C-Murder: Yeah off top, I wanna let them know I put my blood, sweat, and tears into this album so ya know they gonna get it 100% C-Murder. Everything I'm releasing brand new, beats, tracks, everything, and I'm coming home soon no matter what the media say. Everything working out. You just gotta watch ya back out there with all that bullshit going on. Muthafuckaz trying to lock up everybody, I don't care what's gong on. You doing something right they gonna try to lock you up and use you as a trophy. So you gotta keep ya eyes 24-7 ya heard me!
