According to Wikipedia;

Leonard Grant (born July 25, 1980), better known by his stage name Uncle Murda, is an American rapper from East New York, Brooklyn. He is Afro-Panamanian on his mother’s side. He is currently signed to G-Unit Records. Uncle Murda is known for his annual retrospective “Rap Up” song series, which he began in 2014.

Meanwhile, In 2007, his manager and DJ Green Lantern introduced Murda’s music to Jay-Z. The Brooklyn-born rapper/CEO signed Murda to Roc-A-Fella Records soon after. They started to promote him immediately by placing him on a track with popular label-mates Fabolous and Jay-Z for the song “Brooklyn” (featured on From Nothin’ to Somethin’ album) and everything seemed to be going well for the rapper. However, in late 2008 rumors that Uncle Murda left Def Jam came about. In an interview with DJ Vlad, He confirmed the rumors that he has split from Def Jam and Roc-A-Fella Records claiming everything went downhill since Jay-Z’s departure.

Afterward, On November 8, 2016, Murda signed a deal with 50 Cent and G-Unit Records.

Shooting

On January 22, 2008, Murda was shot directly in the head while in a parked car on Linden Blvd. in East New York but was not seriously hurt. Murda would later give contradictory accounts of the incident, saying he was only grazed by a bullet or hit by a piece of glass. The shooting happened after the rapper released his mixtape entitled “Respect the Shooter”. He discharged himself from the hospital less than 24 hours after he was admitted, with the bullet still in his skull. Murda called the nationally syndicated The Wendy Williams Experience radio show after the shooting and told her he was using “Hennessy and Newports to cope with the pain”. No charges were filed, as Uncle Murda refused to cooperate with investigators, blaming the police for the shooting.
