Snoop Dogg's Record Label: Everything You Need to Know About Death Row Records
Snoop Dogg currently owns and operates Death Row Records, which he acquired in February 2022. The iconic label, originally founded by Dr. Dre and Suge Knight in 1991, was purchased by the rapper from MNRK Music Group (formerly eOne Music).
Death Row Records played a crucial role in Snoop Dogg's early career, as it was the label where he released his debut album "Doggystyle" in 1993. Before acquiring Death Row, Snoop had also founded his own record label, Doggy Style Records, in 1995.
Throughout his career, Snoop Dogg has been associated with several major record labels:
1. Death Row Records (1991-1998, 2022-present) 2. No Limit Records (1998-2001) 3. Priority Records/Capitol Records (2002-2009) 4. Doggy Style Records (1995-present)
Under Snoop's ownership, Death Row Records has been transformed into a modern entertainment company. He's made the label's catalog available on streaming platforms and has plans to turn it into the first NFT record label in the metaverse.
The label continues to release new music while maintaining its historic catalog, which includes legendary albums from artists like Dr. Dre, 2Pac, and Snoop Dogg himself. After acquiring Death Row, Snoop released his album "BODR (Bacc on Death Row)" in 2022, marking a full-circle moment in his career.
Beyond traditional music releases, Death Row Records under Snoop's leadership focuses on digital innovation, merchandise, and various entertainment ventures, maintaining its position as a significant force in hip-hop culture.
