Word on the street is that this dude has mad street cred and people want to really know if Brooklyn’s Uncle Murda is real. At this current moment, Uncle Murda has one of the strongest buzzes in hip-hop right now. Uncle Murda’s might be called a very negative artist as he seems to glorify the violence and tragedies that go on in our poverty-stricken communities. You can hate Uncle Murda for what he raps about, but what if this is all he knows? As they say you’re a product of your environment and maybe this is what Uncle Murda just is.

Brought into the game by one of the best mixtape DJ’s in hip-hop - The Evil Genius DJ Green Lantern - Uncle Murda caught the streets ear with his violent stories on the mixtape “Uncle 2 Hard for Hip-Hop”. Ever since that the streets wanted more and before you knew it Uncle Murda went hard again feeding you “Respect The Shooter” once again by DJ Green Lantern. For some reason, Uncle Murda hates the police. With that being said, it looks like he is bringing back that N.W.A. element. Whether you believe Uncle Murda is real or not matters not to HipHopDX, but after you read this interview you might think twice.

HHDX: Murda it’s been a lot of talk in the streets with the whole situation with the entourage and Papoose so what’s good? (Ed. Note: In regards to the "incident", it is said that Uncle Murda was leaving a T-Pain party when he was assaulted by one of Papoose's entourage members)
UM: I don’t really wanna keep talking about that bullshit, because that shit is getting so corny and old but the bottom line is that ain’t nothing happen to Uncle Murda. That’s the bottom line ain’t nothing happen to Uncle Murda not a thing getting laid on me man.

HHDX: I know you don’t wanna talk too much about it, but how you feel about DJ Kay Slay saying some stuff recently?
UM: Like I told you I really don’t wanna keep going back and forth with that shit, because it’s causing whole lot of conflict so I don’t even wanna go back and forth with that bullshit man. I don’t really give a fuck about what anybody says.

HHDX: So I see Uncle Murda holds his own.
UM: Yeah, you know what I’m saying? I don’t give a fuck about what nobody says.

HHDX: It’s a lot of talk that you got a lot of respect in the streets can you tell me why?
UM: Because I put it down in the streets, I put that motherfuckin work in ya heard. Whether it was getting money, whether you gotta bust a nigga upside his motherfuckin head, whether it’s holding down my family niggas know what it is.

HHDX: Tell me why you call yourself Uncle Murda?
UM: I’ve always been Murda man, but I used to give a lot of little kids money and all that shit. Back in the days in the projects I used to give little kids five or ten dollars, little dollars and all that. They aunt’s, they big sisters, they moms and all that know so when they saw me they be like “Uncle Murda” and ask for a dollar. The name just stuck with a nigga.

HHDX: So where the Murda comes in at?
UM: Oh [laughs], because a nigga was running around with that motherfuckin thing. Niggas was trying to take my moterfuckin life so I was defending myself.

HHDX: Well you know how it is in the hood you gotta hold your own.
UM: Yeah, hell yeah.

HHDX: Uncle back to you being a dude that’s respected in the streets how you feel about “Studio Gangtas” in the game right now?
UM: I can’t stand em man. I feel like if a nigga ain’t really a gangsta don’t rap about being a gangsta. Like if you a school kid or you a school boy, rap about the school life and things that go on in school. If you a playboy rap about being a playboy or if you was the kid that got beat up all the time, rap about getting beat up - it’s a market for that shit. Rap about your life. Everything ain’t got to be about being a gangsta. Rap about a nine to five if you a working nigga. Rap about going to work everyday and that type of lifestyle. These niggas just be fronting and that’s why niggas ain’t makin no good music and not selling records, because people see through that corny shit.

HHDX: A lot of cats say you speak real stuff so did you do what you said back in the day?
UM: All day! I’m definitely about my music and you can type up and get my motherfuckin rap sheet man. You can go and get my motherfuckin rap sheet and ask for 75th Precinct and they will tell you “That boys a problem”. Me and the police got into some altercations, so it’s nothing about my business. Ain’t no future in fronting. I damn sure ain’t frontin and I got a future.

HHDX: Okay so tell me about some of this stuff on that rap sheet?
UM: On the rap sheet we got gun possession, attempted murder, attempted murder on a cop, we got a couple things on there. It’s a lot of shooting going on man. Continued on page 2 »
