A once major record label based on the Westside of the States which often beefed with Bad Boy records.
Founded by Suge Knight it became one of the most successful rap labels of all time signing artists such as Tupac, Dr Dre and Snoop Dog.
After muliple scandels and problems including the inprisionment of Suge Knight and the death of Death Rows most successful artist, 2pac, Death Row changed its name to Tha Row for a fresh start but still retained its characterisc logo...A man in the electric chair.
