Welcome To Death Row

This is the definitive story of the most infamous record label in history. This rise and fall of Death Row and its powerhungry CEO, Marion “Suge” Knight, makes The Godfather look like a bedtime story. The film traces the entire controversial history of the label and the impact it had, not only on the music industry but on American culture as a whole – constantly blurring the line between art and reality, crime and business, gangsta-rap and pop music. Led by Suge Knight, Death Row made superstars of artists like Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and Tupac Shakur. But by 1996, with the departure of Dre, the shooting of Tupac, its biggest star, and the imprisonment of founder Suge, the label was brought to its knees.
