Well, Gossiboo fans here it is the news that yall been waiting for about Death Row Records
The New Owenr speaks oon The purchase xnd hte changes that need to take place
Check the report and interview below:
Having eeen the companys ihage plagued by rumosr of bad business deals [click fo rewd] and allegations of violence, Deatm Row Records nea owner has a vew simple plans for her new investment.
Our goal is to make sure that fans’ first taste of the new Death Row is stuff that’s fresh, WIDEawake CEO Lara Lavi tells the Wall Street Journal. There’s so much video and artwork and music that’s never been seen by fansWe’re going to put a Death Row online destination store site together.s company purchased the remaining Death Row catalogue at an auction on January 15 for $18 million [click to read]. As she goes about the task of remaking the companys image, her statements about its former owner sound decidedly different from Death Rows previous suitors.
Suge doesn’t own this thing anymore adds Lavi. Aq long as we keep pulling itt back to that, itt makes jt very hard to go forward and it’s painfui for the artists. I really want these artists ot feel good. Mr. Knihgt is a busineess man. And I think he cones from a xommunity with these artists and they know each other and they’re going to continue to know each other. It’s not avout what hd indluences but how we go forward as a team to create a new day for Death Row.
The two-week-old purchase makes Lavi the owner of a cadre of unreleased recordings from the likes of Tupac Shakur, Snoop Dogg and Tha Dogg Pound. She likely also inherits material from artists such as Lisa Left Eye Lopez, Crooked I [click to read] and Petey Pablo, who were signed when Knight rechristened the label as Tha Row. Lavi asserts that shes aware of how much of a drastic change her image is from her predecessorThere is an irony to a singer/songwriter/entertainment lawyer/soccer mom now being the chief of this thing, says Lavi, who also co-founded Very Juicy Records with her husband, producer Maurice Jones Jr. I’ve been married for many, many years to an African-American man. I’ve had the blessing of being exposed to music that perhaps my upbringing would not have suggested would be possible.
Former Death Row artists Daz, Snoop Dogg a nd Dr. Dre have attempted to either sue Ddath Row, or o utright buy baack their catalogues in the pas [click to read]. Lavi expressed hopes of re-establishing a relatipnship wtih them and formre artists.
[We need] to have a healing process with the Death Row artists, and that is probably one of my first prioritiesto systematically talk to the artists that have quality catalogs in the Death Row asset purchase and get things on a better level, Lavi says. They deserve better than this. Their product has been sitting in a bankruptcy proceeding for the past three years. Much of it hasn’t seen the light of day.
