Love him or hate him, one thing is true: Marion ‘Suge’ Knight built one of the biggest money making black owned businesses. He took a little hip-hop and rap record label and was running with the majors – he became a major. Being signed to Death Row was something a lot of hip-hop and rap artists wanted at that time. So from ''Funky Enough'' Records thru ''Futureshock'' Records to Death Row Records, Suge Knight has become an icon not only in west coast rap but in the music industry itself. Hip-hop / rap record mogul Marion ‘Suge’ Knight is responsible for many of the classic hip-hop sounds of the 90’s. His label, Death Row Records, was the major player, with hip-hop and rap artists like gangsta rap icon Tupac Shakur, rapper/producer Dr.Dre, also Snoop Dogg, Daz Dillinger and many others calling the label ‘home’. In 1992 Marion 'suge'' Knight started the now infamous hip-hop and rap label Death Row Records and quickly rose to become a part of hip-hop history, thru many of the tracts offered on this cd.
