I recently had the pleasure of conducting an interview with MY favorite St Lunatic and Grammy award winner  ---> Murphy Lee.

I still remember the first time I saw him on tv. LoL I have been a fan from "Whats Da Hook Gone Be" to "Welcome To Atlanta (Remix)" to "Shake Ya Tailfeather".  Murphy Lee has been extremely busy with his record label U C Me Entertainment, and now his wine label, Freaky Muscato. He has worked with a number of artists including Kanye West, Nelly, Chingy, Snoop, Jermaine Dupri, and more.
