Warner Music Group placed a bid for $25 million for the assets with the bankruptcy trustee this week. Koch Music is expected to be an active bidder as well. The Co-CEO of EverGreen Copyrights David Schulhof has announced thru Billboard.biz that EverGreen Copyrights is bidding on the assets of the legendary hip hop / rap label Death Row Records, which are currently in bankruptcy. EverGreen Copyrights is the music publisher who holds rights in the writer's share of songs composed by the hip hop icon Tupac Shakur (2Pac). Among the assets are both master recordings and compositions -- including previously unreleased recordings. The deadline for bids is April.
