The area code 314 serves the independent city of St. Louis, Missouri, and most suburbs located in neighboring St. Louis County.

It is bordered by area code 618 across the Mississippi River in Illinois, and by area code 636 in Missouri, which acts as an envelope around the 314 area.

History[link]

Area code 314 was one of the original area codes created in October 1947 and served as the area code for most of eastern Missouri (as far west as Jefferson City). It was split on January 7, 1996, when most of the western and southern portion of 314 was assigned to area code 573. 314 was again split on May 22, 1999, when area code 636 was assigned to St. Louis' outer western suburbs. Currently, 314 serves a much smaller area than originally. Before the introduction of number portability, 314 was used for all cell phones originating in the 636 area code.

In 2000, the Missouri Public Service Commission announced plans to add area code 557 as an overlay of the 314 area code, but soon postponed indefinitely the May 5, 2002, implementation date when the commission found no immediate need for more phone numbers.

Torhi Harper (born December 18, 1978 in St. Louis, Missouri, United States), best known by his stage name Murphy Lee, is a Grammy Award-winning American rapper, best known as a member of the hip hop group St. Lunatics. Lee is also the chief executive of his own label, U C Me Entertainment.

Career[link]

Murphy Lee formed the St. Lunatics with fellow rappers Nelly, Ali, Kyjuan, City Spud. They scored a regional hit with the song "Gimmie What You Got", but the crew found it hard to get a record deal. Nelly secured a deal as a solo act, and released Country Grammar in 2000. After his appearances on Country Grammar, the St. Lunatics released their debut album Free City in 2001. A second St. Lunatics Who's The Boss was released in 2006. It is not supported by the members as the music recording studio Fast Life released the CD because they owned the music. It is a CD of the group's 1996 songs, which are raps over the music of popular 90s songs. In 2002, he was featured on Jermaine Dupri's hit single "Welcome to Atlanta" remix. In 2003, his biggest hit came with "Shake Ya Tailfeather," featuring Nelly and P. Diddy, which appeared on the Bad Boys II soundtrack. That song would later win him a Grammy. Riding the success of "Shake Ya Tailfeather," Murphy Lee released his debut album Murphy's Law later that year.You can download his new mixtapes off his website "murphyleeucme.com".
