Rapper Uncle Murda revealed recently that he has changed his rap moniker, dropping the "Murda" from his name and replacing it with just "M."

As Uncle M, he feels he can broaden his audience, and drop the stigma that he's stumbled upon with the hardcore rap alias.

"It's just about getting me everywhere," Uncle M said, according to AOL's The Boombox. "That's what we're focusing on right now. I'll stay in hardcore music, but you got to understand Uncle Murda -- probably the murder part -- has been the target [for] certain spots I need to get into. Or it'll scare the money away for certain things.

"When you hear Uncle Murda, that's me. I already stamped that, but we're trying to get some money. The concert and music is going to definitely be the same. It might get a little harder, but we're [going to] definitely talk to [the] ladies too," he continued.

According to Uncle M, he's been associated with criminal activities such as "shooting" and "killing," but explained that he's not that one-sided.

"Everything ain't about murder when it comes to me. I'm not shooting or killing 24/7, that's not going down everyday," he said. "I love the ladies. I like to go in the club and hear some good music, drink a little champagne ... puff on whatever's, getting puffed on, and enjoy what's going on."

Aside from the name change, the rapper has been hard at work in the studio, trying to craft an album that plays like "a motion picture."

At press time, though, there was no title or release date for the rapper's upcoming debut. However, he just released a brand new mixtape, titled Summer Time Shootouts, available now.
