(5/10/00, 12 p.m. ET) - C-Murder has been an integral part to the ascension of brother Master P's No Limit Records, so it's fitting that he appears on "Wobble Wobble," the lead single from No Limit's 504 Boyz's Goodfellas album. The song also features Master P, Silkk The Shocker, Mac, Magic, and Mystikal, and introduces Krazy, who is being primed as the next No Limit star. C-Murder also appears on the album's "Up Town" with Master P and Mac.

But the 504 Boyz, which many industry insiders expect to debut near the top of the pop charts today (May 10), is hardly the only thing on C-Murder's mind. He's gearing up for the relaunch of his own TRU Records. The fledgling imprint has already released two albums from Magic and will be introducing new artists within a year. C-Murder told LAUNCH about his plans.

"Well TRU Records right now, it's just getting started," he said. "I'm [going to] drop my album on TRU Records, you know what I mean? And, we looking at just, you know, beginning it the right way with a multiplatinum putting it out there. We're about to do mad promotions and marketing. You know it's just a branch off of No Limit. It's still the same family. It's just that me, you know, I just decided it's time for me to make a move."

C-Murder is also working on his new album, Trapped In Crime, which is scheduled for a July 11 release. His first two albums, 1998's Life Or Death and 1999's Bossalinie, were certified platinum and gold, respectively.
