Snoop Dogg Owns Death Row

Snoop Dogg has just become the owner of the label that set off his career, Death Row Records. Death Row was previously owned by MNRK Music Group, a firm that is controlled by private equity funds managed by Blackstone & others before the former. Snoop went on to say “It feels good to have ownership of the label I was part of at the beginning of my career and as one of the founding members. This is an extremely meaningful moment for me,” explained Snoop, who went on to sign with No Limit Records, Interscope, Capitol, Geffen, Priority Records and Def Jam. “I would like to personally thank the teams at Blackstone, MNRK and especially David Kestnbaum, who worked collaboratively with me over several months to make this exciting homecoming a reality.”
