In the late-90s, No Limit Records was the hottest label in the rap game. During their run, they were known for releasing an album about every other week. Master P was a marketing genius because he would advertise upcoming releases in the booklet and on the back of No Limit releases. In 1998, No Limit Records was dropping classic album after classic. C-Murder released his debut joint called Life or Death 25 years ago today. Many people have said its arguably the best album released under the No Limit umbrella. After being a part of the group TRU and making appearances on several No Limit joints it was his turn. A 2nd Chance was the first single from Life or Death and it featured Master and Silkk the Shocker. A 2nd Chance was the first song on the album and it’s a nice track.
Like all of No Limit releases, this felt like a compilation album with all the guest appearances. The entire No Limit roster was on at least one track on Life or Death. UGK was the only ones not on No Limit to appear on the album and it’s arguably the best track Akickdoe! Life or Death is one of my 27 albums from No Limit Records that should be in your collection. Unfortunately, C-Murder is still in prison for shooting someone in a nightclub. People have been advocating for his release and that includes Kim Kardashian. Life or Death is one of the best No Limit releases and a must have. Akickdoe, Feel My Pain, Ghetto Ties, Soldiers and The Truest Shit are my top 5 tracks.
