<p>As <em>Complex</em> notes, the &#8220;Gin N Juice&#8221; hitmaker first joined Death Row in 1993, where he shared his debut record, <em>Doggystyle</em>, which includes hits like &#8220;G&#8217;z and Hustlaz,&#8221; &#8220;Who Am I (What&#8217;s My Name)?,&#8221; and &#8220;Murder Was The Case,&#8221; featuring Dat N*gga Daz.</p>
<p>&#8220;I am thrilled and appreciative of the opportunity to acquire the iconic and culturally significant Death Row Records brand, which has immense untapped future value,&#8221; Snoop said in a press release shared by Blackstone, adding that it &#8220;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.&#8221;</p>
<p>The father of four shared that taking ownership of Death Row &#8220;is an extremely meaningful moment for [him],&#8221; also giving thanks to both the teams at Blackstone and MNRK, &#8220;and especially David Kestnbaum, who worked collaboratively with me over several months to make this exciting homecoming a reality. I’m looking forward to building the next chapter of Death Row Records.&#8221;</p>
