The Los Angeles-based Death Row Records catapulted gangster rap into mainstream consciousness, housed a number of superstars, and showed how successful black-owned rap labels could be. Then owned and operated by Dr. Dre and Marion “Suge” Knight, Death Row Records made an instant and dramatic impact. Several Death Row Records artists – including Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, 2Pac, and Tha Dogg Pound – remain as relevant and influential as they did when they made history in the 1990s. With a combination of phenomenal music, groundbreaking production, larger-than-life artists, and remarkable business savvy, Death Row Records stands as one of the music business’s success stories.
