In a poignant gesture that has stirred the hip-hop world, Corey “C-Murder” Miller, the No Limit Records veteran serving a life sentence for a 2002 murder conviction, has secretly composed a tribute track dedicated to his brother Master P, chronicling the rap mogul’s relentless 20-year battle for his release. The song, described by Miller’s attorney Jane Hogan as a “musical letter” of gratitude, praises Percy Miller’s “boundless resilience and financial sacrifice,” dubbing him the “promise keeper” who has never abandoned his fight despite the odds. Revealed on December 9, 2025, during a New Orleans press conference, the track—titled Promise Keeper—marks a rare moment of vulnerability from the incarcerated rapper, reaffirming the unbreakable brotherhood that has defined the Millers’ legacy amid C-Murder’s wrongful conviction claims and Master P’s tireless advocacy.
Hogan, who has represented Miller since 2018, shared excerpts from the lyrics, recorded covertly on prison-issued equipment and smuggled out via legal channels. “Percy, you kept the flame when the world turned cold / Twenty years of chains, but your heart stayed gold / Promise keeper, my rock in the storm / For every appeal, every door you stormed,” Miller raps in one verse, his flow steady but laced with emotion. The full track, a five-minute soulful ballad blending trap beats with gospel samples, is set for release on Miller’s Tru Records imprint in early 2026, with all proceeds funding his legal defense. “It’s more than music—it’s a testament to Percy’s unwavering love,” Hogan said. “Corey’s been silenced too long; this is his voice breaking through.”
The tribute comes amid renewed momentum in Miller’s case. Convicted in 2009 for the second-degree murder of 16-year-old Steve Thomas at a Harvey club, Miller’s appeals have hinged on recanted eyewitness testimonies from Darnell and Kenneth Jordan, who admitted in 2018 on Reasonable Doubt that police coerced them with threats of 10-year sentences for unrelated crimes. A 2023 federal habeas petition was denied, but a state evidentiary hearing under Louisiana’s 2021 “factual innocence” law looms in 2026. Master P, 58, has rallied celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Ben Crump, staging hunger strikes and Juneteenth pleas to Governor Jeff Landry. “Percy’s sacrificed millions for lawyers, rallies, everything,” Hogan noted. “This song is Corey’s thank you from Angola’s depths.”
Fans are moved to tears, with #PromiseKeeper trending (500k posts): “From No Limit kings to this—brotherhood unbreakable” (@NoLimitForever, 100k likes). Master P reposted the lyrics: “My brother’s voice is freedom’s song—we keep fighting.” The Millers’ bond, forged in New Orleans’ Third Ward, has weathered scandals and success; C-Murder’s 1998 debut Life or Death went platinum under No Limit, but his 2009 life sentence halted a career of hits like Trapped in Crime.
As the track nears release, Miller’s message resonates: resilience through brotherhood. From prison bars to platinum plaques, Promise Keeper isn’t just music—it’s a lifeline in the justice war. Stream soon on Tru Records; the Millers’ saga endures.
