The label was founded in 1991 by Dr. Dre and Suge Knight, and was home to some of the most influential rap artists of the 1990s, including Tupac Shakur, Snoop Dogg, and Dr. Dre. However, the label has been plagued by financial problems and legal troubles in recent years. The purchase by Snoop Dogg could help to revive the label and its reputation.

Death Row Records quickly became one of the most successful hip-hop labels in the music industry. The label was known for its aggressive marketing and promotion, as well as its roster of high-profile artists.

However, the label's success was marred by controversy, violence, and legal troubles. In 1996, Tupac was murdered in a drive-by shooting, and his death remains one of the most unsolved cases in hip-hop history.

Death Row Records is in good hands, according to Snoop Dogg. The renowned West Coast rapper sat down with Tidal's Elliott Wilson a few weeks after being announced as the label's new owner to discuss the acquisition and his broader goal for the imprint.

Snoop has taken possession of the Death Row brand, which covers everything from logos to apparel to the label's huge recording archive; however, a few albums were left out of the transaction, including “2Pac's All Eyez On Me” and “The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory.”

Snoop stated to Wilson that he had obtained Dr. Dre's The Chronic for Death Row (an attorney for Dre has since confirmed that the record is not under Death Row) and that he was certain he could work out a deal with Pac's estate during their conversation.

“I'm looking at Death Row just depreciating. I'm watching how I'm putting Def Jam back in the light; they're hot again,” says Snoop Dogg, who was designated executive creative consultant at Def Jam in 2021. “People talking about them, and artists signing. I'm like, shit — imagine what I could do with Death Row? … To be in control of the brand means that I got all of the pieces that I need to do what I got to do, from the masters to the publishing, to the IP, to the label, to the logo, to everything. It's all mine,” Snoop said. “I'm able to move it around and do what I need to do with it.”
