Murphy Lee

Murphy Lee came up in St. Louis as part of the St. Lunatics, a rap collective that included Nelly. He appeared on group tracks like "Batter Up" and "Air Force Ones" before stepping out on his own. His debut solo album, 'Murphy's Law,' arrived in 2002 and featured the hit "Shake Ya Tailfeather," which became a summer anthem and topped the Billboard charts.

That song, with its infectious beat and catchy hook, remains his signature moment. He followed it with albums like 'Murphy's Law II' in 2004 and 'You Got Me' in 2008, and later returned to the St. Lunatics fold for 2018's 'Murphy's Law 3: The Return of St. Lunatics.' His solo work includes tracks like "Luv Me Baby" and "Boughetto."

His style blended hip-hop with R&B and pop influences, delivered with a smooth flow and clever wordplay. While he faced some legal troubles in the mid-2000s, he kept recording and collaborating, working with artists like Nelly on songs such as "Wat Da Hook Gon Be" and "Dem Boyz."
