Gotti first launched Murder Inc. in 1999 with Ja Rule, Lil Mo, and eventually Charli Baltimore and Ashanti. At one point, Bobby Brown even joined the label.

In 2003, Gotti changed the label’s name to The Inc. due to lingering feuds, and an investigation from the IRS. But by 2010, main artists Ja Rule and Charli Baltimore would leave the label, and The Inc. sort of fizzled out.

In September 2013, Gotti brought it back as a unit under his new label, Visionary. Newly released from prison, Ja Rule returned to release his first songs in years, “Fresh Out Da Pen” and “Everything.”

In announcing the latest relaunch on Monday, Gotti also introduced the first artists signed to the new partnership: Boogiie Byrd from Washington D.C. and Fitted Circle from Atlanta (by way of St. Louis). Videos for both acts were being filmed over the weekend.
