Hello gang, Today lets focus on one of the greatest labels from the West Coast which inspired our favourite genre in many ways, Deathrow Records.

This label was created by Surge Knight and Dre with funding from Michael “Harry-O” Harris(an incacerated drug dope dealer. Without him there would be no Denzel Washington) and also some money from Vanilla Ice who had not paid Johnson for writing him this song

the label had some of the greatest talent in the Game but Surge ruined it all.

to start it off here is the Song that introduced Snoop Dogg to the world.

suge was one cold muthafucker…kama naeza kumbuka at that time,yeye ndio alifanya dre aform aftermath due to his shady antics.
all in all this nigga has dre to thank for all his proteges and their success

I respect Tupac but I still think Notorious B.I.G was better than him. Lyrical genius.
