Murder Inc. Records changed the game and through Ja Rule, they are responsible for the pop-rap ballads. Irv Gotti is one of the biggest moguls to ever hit hip hop and had that investigation not taken place, there probably would’ve been more to his story. But, what happened happened and now they are returning.
Over the past few weeks, Irv Gotti and Ja Rule have done several interviews and they spoke on their upcoming projects. During the interview with “The Breakfast Club,” Irv Gotti confirmed Murder Inc. Records would return. The label is under a new entertainment company Irv Gotti has branded Visionary.
Today, Irv Gotti made the announcement on Instagram about the company. In 2011, there were rumors about Ja Rule starring in his own reality show and now it looks like this deal may come to life. Irv Gotti revealed Cris Abrego of 51 Minds Entertainment, which produces for VH1, will be involved with Visionary.
Read Irv Gotti’s statement 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.
