The music label was co-founded by Suge Knight, The D.O.C., Dr. Dre, and Dick Griffeyand and was at the time revered for having the best rappers in the entertainment industry.
Suge Knight and Snoop Dogg have a relationship that goes way back to the early 90s when the two worked at Death Row Records. Former rap mogul Marion “Suge” Knight is to serve 28 years in prison for killing a businessman in a hit-and-run after a fight in Los Angeles.
