个人饶舌生涯的发源地，Snoop Dogg 正式收购 Death Row Records

知名饶舌歌手 Snoop Dogg 今日宣布从 MNRK Music Group 手上收购 Death Row Records（属于 Blackstone 旗下私募股权基金公司的集团），而那正是他个人饶舌生涯的发源地。

Snoop Dogg 于声明稿中表示：「我很高兴能有这个机会收购这个充满标志性且充满文化意义的品牌 Death Row Records，该品牌拥有居大的未来潜力及开发价值。作为我个人饶舌生涯的发源地，如今得以全权拥有这间公司，这让我感到相当开心，对我来说是极具纪念意义的一个时刻。最后也感谢 Blackstone 及 MNRK 团队，尤其是前者单位的资深管理总监 David Kestnbaum，在这几个月内的积极合作下让梦想成真，我十分期待 Death Row Records 的下一个篇章。」

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. It 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. This is an extremely meaningful moment for me. I would like to personally thank the teams at Blackstone, MNRK 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.

Death Row Records 由 Dr. Dre、Suge Knight、the D.O.C. 与 Dick Griffey 等人于 1991 年创立，旗下最为知名的艺人包括 Dr. Dre、Tupac Shakur 及 Snoop Dogg，可谓红极一时的饶舌帝国。
