Irv Gotti To Relaunch Murder Inc.

    Irv Gotti is set to relaunch Murder Inc. under Visionary, a new entertainment company that the mogul is hoping to start. According to a recent Instagram post from Gotti and a report from HipHop-n-more.com, his plans are underway. 

    Gotti said that the first step was to bring Maddi Jane, a 14-year-old singer Gotti is managing, to Atlantic Records. 

    The next phase of the company is set to include television shows, according to Gotti. One possible television show might be a reality program that includes Ja Rule, as per his Instagram post. From 2007 through 2009, Gotti was the executive producer and star of “Gotti’s Way,” a reality program based on his life. 

    Beyond television, Gotti also said Visionary is set to include work in film. Gotti has worked in film in a variety of capacities, mainly on soundtracks for motion pictures, including 1998’s Rush Hour and 2002’s Friday After Next

    Gotti’s statement, as reported by HipHop-N-more.com, is below: 

    “Wanna share with y’all what I have been plotting on!! For years I have been wanting to start an ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY called VISIONARY. and yesterday was one of the 1st steps with bringing Maddi Jane. 14 year old superstar from Chicago to my Family at Atlantic Records. Julie Greenwald. Mtg and energy was fantastic. So I wake up today very excited. VISIONARY will also be doing TV shows. Me and Rule are working with Cris Abrego of 51 Minds and Rule will probably have his own Reality Show very soon. Which will also be a part VISIONARY thing. Also working on a few movie ideas that will also be VISIONARY. So with the signing of Maddi Jane and me waking up feeling great. I said let me share this with my people. VISIONARY will also manage artist as well. But I will only manage artist I feel are VISIONARY type artist. Not trying to just manage any and everyone. And that will be music and actors and athletes. MURDER INC will be a label under VISIONARY. And things I will do with Ja will always be MURDER INC AND MPIRE. and if I find another rapper that inspires me to work with them. It will be MURDER INC. but an artist like Maddi Jane will be under VISIONARY. I will let you guys in on more things I’m doing when the time is right.”

    Irv Gotti’s Murder Inc. released several albums under Def Jam, beginning with 1999’s Venni Vetti Vecci. The imprint released Ja Rule’s subsequent discography until 2004’s R.U.L.E., which was released under the imprint’s new name, The Inc. The label had issues with a federal indictment that prevented business dealings, according to Ja Rule, who spoke about the imprint’s troubles, which also included a rivalry with 50 Cent, Dr. Dre and Eminem, on September 20, in an interview with New York radio station Hot 97.

    “It was a lot going on in that time frame,” Ja said. “You got the federal indictment. Here’s what it is. It was orchestrated very well. [50 Cent] was a part of the juggernauts at that moment. Eminem, Dre, they were very, very big in what they were doing as well. So, as we were big over on our side, they were also big on their side. And as everything started to crumble for us as far as we didn’t have a label home anymore, there was a lot of things that were falling apart for us. It was easy for [50 Cent] to get people to turn on [us] and there was things that were behind the scenes that y’all don’t see, that also made us seem more irrelevant.”

    1. If you’ve seen any of the recent interviews Irv acts more feminine than Drake!! He got crazy female mannerisms or should i say womannerisms!

    2. ” Rule will probably have his own Reality Show very soon. ”

      This basically means Ja Rule is broke and desperate to make some money. Sad thing is no one gonna watch a reality show about Ja.

    3. murder inc was the most influential hip hop label ever. without ja and gotti hip hop would have been dead by now. they kept the culture alive.

      1. fuck outta here most influential label? they had like 2 fuckin artists.

        Death Row more influential.
        No Limit more influential.
        Def Jam more influential.
        Cash Money more influential.

      2. Who made 50 Cent the artist he became
        Who made 50 Cent the garbage he is today
        Who ran Rap and pushed it to the new era
        Its quite clearly MURDER INC

        NO JA RULE = NO 50 CENT/NO DRAKE/NO WAYNE/NO DMX/NO 2Pac/NO GUCCI MANE…….ALL YOU WOULD HAVE IS VANILLA ICE

      3. …and I wouldn’t have so many dickriders claiming to be my “Army”. You bitches should go jack off to my Thug Lovin’ video and shut the fuck up.

    4. Ja has done more in life then all of haters, why is it that black people love to trash their own people ? That is one of the reasons that we don’t really have a lot as a people because we are like crabs in a bucket. For all the haters let me see you start your own company and do as well as murder inc did.

      1. No ones denying the success in music that Ja and Murder Inc had but that was a long time ago. 10+ years dog!!! ITS OVER!

      1. Irv is still paid. He said he aint worth no 60 million like the networth websites say but he could retire and live comfortably (aka, not balling) just based off royalties and publishing gets

    7. well wer finding out 50 cent was calling up the number on the return living dead tank and certian ppl are looking for him. he kept calling it

    8. “just based off royalties and publishing gets”

      Royalities from what? lol Those Ja Rule albums haven’t moved in years. He had that reality show for a minute, but if Jeffrey’s broke, then Irv isn’t far behind.

      1. Nobody sending you memos to know about units sold or bank statements.

        You ain’t out there, his music gets radio spins, club spins, bar jukebox spins, arena spins, CABLE music station spins. You home on the internet and STILL think NOBODY plays his music, which is ON THE INTERNET.

        lol, stfu CLOWN.

    9. Ricky worked as a CO for ONE year. Youve never seen thug niggas who hold down day-jobs? He has many REAL Miami thugs that he still runs around with to vouch for him

      Sure, some of his rhymes are fabricated, but who the fucks arent? Rap is full of hyperboles and bragging. Tell me a rapper that hasnt made up shit in his rhymes, and Ill call you a liar

      Bawse!!!

      1. No one is talking about Officer Ricky, get over it. You not changing anyones opinion on him with your spam comments

    10. I respect Irv for what he accomplished with Murder Inc during there run, but it is over. You had a great platform and led your artists and label to the ruins. You did that. You have no talent bro. The days of just sticking your chest out, using hungry producers, stealing credits, and robbing starving artists is over. Ja needs to part ways and be his own man. People like Ja, they hate you. He will never win with you around anymore. Puff and Jay made it, you didn’t. Just get over it. I feel sorry for your new artist..

    11. FOR ALL THE DICK RYDERS! 50 CENT SNITCH ON SUPREME AND FILED A RESTRAINING ORDER ON BLACK! DUDE IS A RAT NOT A RAT. U DICK RYDERS THINK GAME A STRIPPER CUZ 50 SAY SO? BAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA WHERES THE PROOF? BESIDES PHOTOSHOPED PICTURES??? LOLOL I CAN FIND 1000 OF VIDS OF 50 BEING A SNITCH BUT NOT ONE OF GAME BEING A STRIPPER??? WANNA KNOW WHY? BECAUSE HE NEVER WAS! GAME MAKES GUNIT LOOK SNITCHES NOW! EVEN MORE PROOF 40 GLOCC SUEING HIM FOR BEATIN HIS ASS! BAAAHAHAHA GUNIT IS DEAD STFU DICK RYDERS!

      1. 100 videos of 50 being a snitch? LOL

        Game fans arent allowed to use that word dawg. Games manager Mr Jimmy the snitch Henchman was and is a federal fucking informant! HEs on the books as a snitch.

        All that talk about 50 cant be and was never proven. Niggas like Ja and Game just ran with it cause they were losing so hard

    12. so irv finally admitted that he was trying to block 50, and messed around and blocked him to dre and elvis.

    13. What’s the name of this new company that Murcer Inc will be under? I have read his statement but can’t see it anywhere.

    14. hello ashanti this is dr trivez it seem u been eatting dead cats and trying to talk to them at the cemerty

      1. em dont care about these guys. ja said they saw each other at the airport before and it was no problem. theres enough money for everyone. they certainly wont be taking any of ems fans or money so who cares

      2. dont twist the facts, just when eminems thought he was slowly crawling up the ladder again, theres ja rule to take him out on sight like it nothin.

    15. “You ain’t out there, his music gets radio spins, club spins, bar jukebox spins, arena spins, CABLE music station spins. You home on the internet and STILL think NOBODY plays his music, which is ON THE INTERNET”

      And you know all this how, cause you googled does Ja Rule’s music still get played? An underground college radio station could be playing Ja Rule’s music as we speak. Do you think Jeffrey’s getting a check? Sit down before you fall down.
