Bossalinie is the second studio album by American rapper C-Murder, released by No Limit Records, Priority Records, and EMI on March 9, 1999.[6] It entered the Billboard 200 at number two of the week ending March 14, 1999, after selling over 175,611 in its first week.[7] It stayed on the chart for 11 weeks and was certified Gold by the RIAA.[8] The album features production by Beats By the Pound and guest appearances by Daz Dillinger, Snoop Dogg, Nate Dogg, Kurupt, Goodie Mob, Monica, and other No Limit Soldiers.

Controversy

[edit]

C-Murder was charged by Bridgeport Records and/or Southfield Records with improper use of the musical composition "Flashlight" as an interpolated/sampled portion in "W Balls" whereas the infringement has not been remedied as described in Infringing Compositions and/or Sound Recordings and/or Records.[9]
