Irv Gotti, cofounder of Murder Inc. Records has died at the age of 54, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The famed record executive and producer’s cause of death is as yet unknown. Earlier on Wednesday (5 February 2025), that Irv suffered a stroke several days ago.
This is the second stroke he had in the last seven months. Irv was a prominent figure in hip-hop throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, due to his work with Ja Rule and singer Ashanti.
Irv Gotti made his mark in hip-hop early on as an A&R at Def Jam Recordings, where he signed DMX in 1997. He was also an instrumental part in getting Jay-Z‘s early records like “Ain’t No Ni**a” to Funkmaster Flex on Hot 97, which helped Hov’s career soar.
He produced or co-produced classic tracks like Ja’s “Always on Time” featuring Ashanti, Jay-Z’s “Can I Get A…” featuring Ja Rule and Amil, DMX’s “What’s My Name” and Eve‘s “Gangsta Lovin'” featuring Alicia Keys, among many others.
