Torhi Harper (born c. 1979 or 1980) [2] better known by his stage name Murphy Lee, is an American rapper who is best known as a member of the St. Louis, Missouri-based hip hop group, St. Lunatics. Following the commercial success of group cohort Nelly in the early 2000s, Lee signed with his label Derrty Entertainment, an imprint of Universal Records to release his debut studio album, Murphy's Law (2003). It peaked at number eight on the Billboard 200 and was supported by the single " Shake Your Tailfeather" (with Nelly and P. Diddy), which peaked atop the Billboard Hot 100 and was shared with the accompanying soundtrack to the 2003 film Bad Boys II.
