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.”

” 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.
if you don’t wanna watch it fuck off then u clown
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.
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.
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
yeah, keep smoking that crack bud
…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.
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.
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!
That Cookie Monster wannabe won’t get back to those good ol’ days.
as jimmy kimbel making pumkin facesss pics on twitter following up with sponge bob pics
It’s over Irv. Go work at Mcdonald’s.
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
dj irv didn’t get gangsta until supreme backed him in the streets.
this is true. he was an a&r and a beat maker until he linked up with supreme
well rza wanted diddy mase to pop ppl likeing or dissing their alfits wu second album

Murder Inc..I wish these guys the best..
Ja Rule is Drakes Uncle

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.
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.

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!!!
No one is talking about Officer Ricky, get over it. You not changing anyones opinion on him with your spam comments
ja & gotti at breakfeast club great interview !! welcome home rule
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..
“SET TO RELAUNCH… UNDER A COMPANY WHICH HE HOPES TO START…”
DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE??

they should do a joint venture with g-unit
The idea is to make money, not be irrevelant losers with no albums or clout.
so irv finally admitted that he was trying to block 50, and messed around and blocked him to dre and elvis.

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.
yeah I couldnt see it anywhere in there either.
hello ashanti this is dr trivez it seem u been eatting dead cats and trying to talk to them at the cemerty
at the pet cemerty
files here show u ate a cat by the name of crazy eller
and your talking to tress
666 demon devils
murder inc was the mold to this game.
em need to take it down quickly again
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
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.
#VISIONARY
Irv has done it once. I won’t bet against him… Ok, yeah i would.
“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.
