1 year ago today, a pioneering architect of late-90s and early-2000s Hip-Hop and R&B, Irv redefined the sound and industry dynamics of the time through Murder Inc. Records. He propelled artists to stardom, fused raw street energy with mainstream melodies, and demonstrated how ownership could thrive alongside cultural integrity.

Irv Gotti‘s impact continues to resonate in the music, the artists he supported, and the lasting blueprint he created.

May he rest in peace and his legacy continue to be remembered!
