Irv Gotti (real name Irving Lorenzo) is a prominent hip hop and R&B record producer and is the head of the successful record label Murder Inc.. Various popular performers, such as Ja Rule, Ashanti, Vita, Caddillac Tah, Charli Baltimore, and Bobby Brown are currently part of his label. He has made cameo appearances in Ashanti's "Foolish" and Ja Rule's "Down 4 U" music videos.
In 2004, Gotti's label came under investigation for laundering money through his record label for New York City drug kingpin and childhood friend "Supreme" McGriff. On January 25 2005, Gotti and his brother Chris turned themselves in, claiming innocents and uninvolvement in drug trade. They were released on $1 million bail, and will be tried alongside McGriff for the charges against them [1] (http://www.bet.com/Music/MusicNews/Irv+Gotti+Proclaims+Innocence.htm?wbc_purpose=Basic&WBCMODE=PresentationUnpublished).
