Death Row Rumours/News ( Kurupt, Crooked I)

[Darksider]

Here is a Rumour/News article from www.worldwideconnected.com from DECEMBER 02

Death Row are planning on two releases for the near future: Kurupt's "Against The Grain" and Crooked I's "Say Hi To The Bad Guy"...

Kurupt will be released first. His album is sceduled to be released in February and will be a Death Row/Koch release. He'll also release side-projects through Kustapo/101 Distribution. There's ALOT of projects being worked on.

For example, Kustapo and Death Row artists Virginya Slim and Gail Gotti are hooking up with Jazmina & Tiny to form "Tha Switchbalde Sista'z". The "West Coast Female All Starz" will release a mixtape-album soon. An other album released will be "Kurupt Presents: Eastwood" and the K&K (Kurupt and Kokane) project.

The Gotti's (Kurupt & Gail) are also about to record a DVD titled "A day in tha life of tha Gotti'z". The couple will be followed around by a film-crew for 3 days at home, out at dinner, doing shows and more. The result will be released on DVD whitin about 2 months.

Death Row are currently looking for distribution for Crooked I's solo album. Suge and Death Row figures that Kurupt's an established artist and only needs distribution (koch) while Crooked I needs promotion from a larger distribution company. Universal's been showing interest. Def Jam has also been showing interest to make the album a Death Row/Def Jam thing.

Since Darren Vegas has been fired, Crooked I's material needs to be re-produced. Producers working with Death Row/Kustapo right now are Jim Gettum, Ambassador Kash, Sir Jinx and J Wells as in-house producers. Crooked I was recently recording with Battlecat for his album but has been having problems hooking up with producers in LA, and was recently in NY looking for production and more.

The only artists with a contract with Death Row are Kurupt, Eastwood and Crooked I.

And remember folks, these are just rumours! Make sure to check back to World Wide Connected for an interview with the Gotti's that might clear alot of this up.

deathrow is done for.  Maybe, just maybe 1 album out off all those will be released, is what I'm guessing.  How many times have we heard that crooked I is about to come out?  Like 25 times at least.

Instead of Crook looking for distribution from someone like Colombia or Def Jam, why dont he just bounce the fuck outa Death Row and get signed by someone who will release his album...

Wow. That sounds... well, 'brilliant' is the only word I can think of. Out at dinner, you say? Great.

[ZILLA THA GOODFELLA]

yea mane, dat sounds sicc as fuc......can't wait to see wat restaurants tha gottis go 2.....

[CRAFTY]

It's strange how their reputation has gone sour. They used to be the most powerful label and lately they've been getting NO respect from anybody, which is absolutely normal.

Suge & them should take time out to listen to what the fans have to say so they could understand what WE want.

It's like LaZ1e said, if it doesn't come out in 2004, it won't come out at all (unless he signs with a good label that supports him).

[Z the laidback Virus]

The restaurant will probably be called "Chez Weque"

[LyRiCaL_G]

if crooked bounced off death row and signed with a serious major label, niggaz would start callin him a sell out n loads of other bullshit anyway.

i feelsorry for dude, cuz he got mad skills and could rip sick beats for joke but aint nobody doin nuttin good for him at tha row, if his shit aint out by summer 04, nigga needs to check his game
