I used to name myself Murky Waters until I got infected with West Nile disease. I lost 120 lbs and doctors said I had 2 weeks to live. I was literally a skeleton. I mustered up all the energy I had left and prayed to God. The next morning, I woke up to find my parents and the first thing I said was "I'm hungry", it was like I never was sick, doctors were baffled and tested me to find no trace of the sickness.
A month later I made an album on cassette called ILL GREEN and was about my battle with the disease. The people thought I was ILL GREEN and everywhere I went they knew me as ILL GREEN, I didn't bother to say "no, I'm Murky Waters" because they bought the tapes already so I just rolled with it and stuck ever since.
The name ILL GREEN, however, was when I was playing a Mathematics track and he rapped "listening to Al Green" but I thought he said Ill Green and at the time there was no one or album with that name so I thought it would be cool to name my album with it.
True story.
