 Cane Murphy's Inspirational Story

If you looked at the life of a kid who was dragged to bars, horse racing tracks and gambling bookies at the age of 10 by his father on the weekends, during a custody battle, while growing up with a single mother struggling to get by on welfare in section 8 housing and getting raised by the streets. Then fast foward to Cane's out of control life style of drinking bottles of liquor, pulling of pranks, cutting out of school and playing ball in every chance he got, venting through Graffiti, getting into beef with crews, high speed chases with police and Losing close friends to drugs and tragedy. Then Giving up everything in life , stepping into the Underground of HipHop, battling MC's everywhere he went , Beatboxing and Freestlying in cyphers all over the Streets of New york. Stepping on stage at open mics and showcases battling for respect, gaining recognition and making a name for himself in the Rap Game for the next ten years.

Finally after hundereds of performances, mixtape spots and interviews, getting noticed by a A&R from Universal , who saw him perform at a club late night in Harlem N.Y and said "I havent' heard a true lyricist since KRSone and Rakim", who afterwards sets up a meeting and wanted Cane aka. Redrum to start ghost writing for artists. then when it seems all the blood sweat and tears payed off, a Tragic accident stopped his career in its tracks and turns his life upside down.  He Fought through horrible 24 hour pain and depression to hit the studio and finish recording his debut album. He invested his life savings ($20,000)  his debut album and videos. Now trying to overcome tremendous odds against him, Cane is facing a very dangerous second operation before getting back to touring.
