BRIEF HISTORY ABOUT DEATH ROW RECORDS
The man, named Jimmy Iovine, was a former engineer on Bruce Springsteen's records and the new director of Interscope Records. He was one of the people responsible for hip-hop thriving in Los Angeles in 1990s.
Interscope had a roster of successful alternative rock groups, including Nine Inch Nails and Bush, but it was its partnership with Death Row Records that had the most influence.
Death Row, founded by Marion ("Suge") Knight, quickly became the epicentre of gangster rap. Essentially, it served as a platform for Dr. Dre (Andre Young), a former member of N.W.A., a pioneering West Coast rap group from 1980s. The focus on gangster rap's aggressive lyrics tended to obscure the music's unschooled but inventive nature, which was inspired by Dre's signature slurred, lethargic studio sound.
Snoop Doggy Dogg's Doggystyle (1993), which emerged out of a cameo appearance in Dre's own work, and Tupac Shakur's brutal All Eyez on Me (1996) are among the Death Row albums to hit the peak of the hip pop charts (2Pac). Death Row became increasingly entangled in judicial proceedings, financial and criminal—as the year passed, reflecting its gangster attitude. Snoop Dogg departed the organization after being declared not guilty of a manslaughter accusation. 2pac Shakur died of bullet wounds in Las Vegas, Nevada, in a gun battle as a result of an altercation between the East Coast and West Coast rappers that devolved into murder.
Interscope cut ties with Death Row after Knight was sentenced to nine years in prison for assault.
Death Row Records, the infamous music production powerhouse, is celebrating its 30th anniversary in style. They've released an interesting new NFT line in collaboration with NFT gurus Crypto.com.
