Starting in 1999, Murder Inc. had tremendous success being the backing force behind Ja Rule’s emerging career, along with R&B singer Ashanti. Initially, Murder Inc. was partnered with Def Jam, which came after Irv Gotti helped Def Jam land deals with Jay Z and DMX.
Gotti is back at it again, as he shared the news on his Instagram that Murder Inc has partnered with 300 Entertainment. “Me. Lyor Cohen and Kevin Liles. Back at it again,” he wrote. Two artists signed to Murder Inc/300 are Boogiie Byrd and duo Fitted Circle.
“Fuck it. No need to hold back announcing this shit,” wrote Gotti in an Instagram post. “Let’s get it popping. MURDER INC has formed a Partnership with the guys who I had all my success with. With the guys who believed in me from Day 1. KEVIN LILES AND LYOR COHEN and there 300 Record Label. I’m beyond blessed and excited to be Smashing with my guys. Who truly know me. And understand me.
