Death Blow to the New Death Row


Dr. Dre just won a huge settlement against the new owners of Death Row Records...


When Suge Knight ran Death Row Records, Dr. Dre was never paid proper royalties for 'The Chronic'. After Suge lost Death Row [click here if you missed that] Dre sued the new owners for back royalties.

It was just ruled that the new Death Row does not have rights to sell 'The Chronic' digitally. All digital sales go to Dre, plus the new Death Row can not sell 'The Chronic' on any compilation sets and only in CD, cassette, vinyl and 8 track format.
