Bio: In just a few short years, J Murda went from a Elkhart street hustla to the savior of Midwest hip-hop to a tragic victim of the culture of violence he depicts so realistically on his records. His brother, Vusani "Cy" Mankhwala aka C-Lo, influenced J Murda's rap career. After Vusani's death his lyrics became incredibly potent. Hip-hop's self-image will never be quite the same, and neither will public perception. The aura of strength that surrounds J Murda sometimes threatens to overshadow his musical talent, which is actually quite significant. Murda is a gifted storyteller with a sense of humor and an eye for detail, and his narratives about the often violent life of the streets were rarely romanticized; instead, they were told with a gritty, objective realism that won him enormous respect and credibility. 187 Productionz is willing to work with many artists', not just J Murda. The Gangsta Rap Legacy is not over it is just getting started. We are the "Last Of A Dying Breed!" Tha M.O.B.B.
