Irv Gotti, the co-founder of Murder Inc Records, explains how his love of DJing led to producing beats and forming relationships with era-defining artists Jay-Z, DMX, Ja Rule and more.

Irv Gotti, Ja Rule, and others describe Murder Inc heating up with a smash hit record, bad blood with 50 Cent, and a high-profile collaboration with another New York music star.

Irv's laser focus on singer Ashanti impacts both the label and his crumbling marriage, his attempt to sign Nas alienates JAY-Z, and Murder Inc's rivalry with 50 Cent intensifies.

Ashanti's second album is a hit, and singer Lloyd makes a splash, but hip-hop culture is threatened when Irv and the label are accused of laundering money for drug kingpin Supreme.

Murder Inc and hip hop itself stand trial when the feds accuse Irv Gotti and his brother of laundering money, then the mogul embarks on a comeback and reckons with his life's journey.
