Exclusive: Snoop Dogg Signs Former Death Row Talent to Record Label Deal!
Welcome to Music Nation 365, your ultimate source for all things music-related! Today, we bring you exciting news from the world of hip hop. The iconic Snoop Dogg, owner of Death Row Records, has made a significant move by reinstating one of the label’s former artists onto its roster.
Over the weekend, Snoop Dogg took to Instagram to announce the return of Danny Boy to Death Row. The West Coast rap legend shared a video of the veteran R&B singer in the studio, cooking up something special. The post was met with enthusiastic reactions from various artists, including DJ Quik and DJ Premier, who expressed their excitement with emojis and words of awe.
Additionally, R&B stars Omarion, Faith Evans, and Anthony Hamilton joined in to celebrate Danny Boy’s reunion with Death Row Records. Danny Boy himself took to his own Instagram page to share his joy and gratitude, confirming that he is working on new music. After over two decades, he finally had the opportunity to collaborate with Snoop Dogg, a momentous occasion that he described as a “faithwalk.”
In another post, Danny Boy expressed his excitement for the new chapter with Death Row, acknowledging the support he has received from his niece and her colleague. He described the upcoming chapter as “amazing,” hinting at the exciting projects that lie ahead.
Danny Boy is best known for his contributions to 2Pac’s iconic albums All Eyez on Me and The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory, lending his soulful voice to tracks such as “I Ain’t Mad at Cha,” “Picture Me Rollin’,” and “Heaven Ain’t Hard 2 Find.” Signed by Suge Knight to Death Row at the age of 16, Danny Boy made his debut on the Murder Was the Case soundtrack and released his first single “Slip N Slide” the following year.
Although his debut album, It’s About Time, was shelved by Death Row, it was eventually released in 2010, with DJ Quik handling most of the production. The album featured guest appearances from Roger Troutman and Jodeci member Joel “JoJo” Hailey, showcasing Danny Boy’s vocal talents.
Interestingly, Snoop Dogg had previously expressed his desire to bring Danny Boy back to Death Row last year after a video of the singer’s impressive vocal skills went viral online. The Doggfather shared a clip on Instagram, affirming that Danny Boy’s seat on Death Row awaited him. Now, this vision has become a reality with Danny Boy’s official signing to the label.
Notably, Danny Boy’s return comes on the heels of another Death Row act rejoining the label. Tha Dogg Pound, famous for their collaborations with Snoop Dogg, is gearing up to release their new album We All We Got via the Snoop-owned imprint this summer, adding to the excitement surrounding Death Row’s resurgence.
As the music industry continues to evolve, it’s heartwarming to see artists like Danny Boy finding their way back to their roots and reconnecting with the labels and collaborators that shaped their careers. With Snoop Dogg at the helm, Death Row Records is poised for a new era of creativity and success, showcasing the enduring legacy of West Coast hip hop.
