Murder Was the Case is the fifth studio album by American rapper Gucci Mane. It was released on May 5, 2009, through Big Cat Records with distribution via Tommy Boy Entertainment. Production was handled by DJ Speedy, Zaytoven, Melvin "Mel Man" Breeden and Marlon "Big Cat" Rowe, the latter two also served as executive producers.

The album debuted at number 23 on the Billboard 200, making it Gucci Mane's third highest charting album at the time. Three singles were released off the album, the first being "Murder For Fun" which was released on August 21, 2008. The second single was "Stoopid", which was released on January 22, 2009. The final single was "Runnin' Back", which was released on April 20, 2009.[3] The "Stoopid" and "Runnin Back" singles had the following versions of the songs: main, clean, instrumental, dirty and clean a cappellas. The single versions of both songs are longer than on the album ("Runnin' Back" is 4:15 on the single and only 3:52 on the album).

Controversy

The album was the subject of controversy between Gucci Mane and Big Cat Records CEO Melvin Rowe, who released the album unofficially. However, in November 2010, the two squashed their beef and announced that they would be working together again.[4]
