Corey Miller (born March 9, 1971) is an American rapper from the Calliope Projects in New Orleans, Louisiana. He was convicted of second degree murder on August 11, 2009 for the 2002 death of 16-year-old Steve Thomas. Prior to April 5, 2005, he used the stage name C-Murder, and changed it to C. Miller. When asked why he chose the name, Miller has said "They call me C-Murder, cuz I see murder"; however, he has recently started using his former stage name of C-Murder once again.

With brothers Master P (born Percy Miller) and Silkk the Shocker (Vyshonn Miller), C-Murder was part of the rap group TRU, which released two albums: True (1995) and Tru 2 da Game (1997). In 1998 C-Murder appeared on Master P's 1998 album Ghetto D and debuted solo with Life or Death. C-Murder's debut topped the Billboard R&B albums chart. Bossalinie followed in 1999. He was also a member of the supergroup 504 Boyz, which had a hit in 2000 with "Wobble Wobble". The same year, C-Murder released his third album, Trapped in Crime, which included the hit "Down for My N's" featuring Snoop Dogg and Magic. C-Murder launched his own label, Tru Records, around that time. C-Murder's next album Tru Dawgs was released in 2002. During a life sentence imposed by court starting October 2003, C-Murder recorded The Truest $#!@ I Ever Said in 2005. After the Louisiana Supreme Court dismissed his conviction, C-Murder returned in 2006 with Tru Story: Continued. Later, he recorded and released Screamin' for Vengenance in 2008 and wrote the novel Death Around the Corner. He appears on Ludacris' Release Therapy album on a song called "Do Your Time" (also featuring the late Pimp C and previously incarcerated rapper Beanie Sigel; he is credited as C-Murder).
