Hollis, Queens. Jeffrey Atkins. Murder Inc.'s growling crooner — 'Always on Time' (with Ashanti, 2002), 'Mesmerize,' 'Down 4 U,' the J.Lo duets ('I'm Real,' 'Ain't It Funny'). The 50 Cent feud and the federal Murder Inc. RICO investigation nearly buried the career. The Fyre Festival co-promotion was its own Netflix-documentary moment. The peak-era catalog is a real piece of early-2000s rap-pop crossover history; the reputation is more complicated.
