[edit] Synopsis
Life after Death Row... The saga continues as Suge Knight, mastermind behind the notorious, multi-million dollar record label, Death Row Records continues to inflict his wrath against former artists. Crooked I was the last one standing after all of the smoke cleared. Tupac gone. Snoop Dogg gone. Dr Dre gone. Crooked I stayed down representing Death Row as an artist in the studio and on the streets for 4 years, but he never saw the release of an album. His loyalty to Death Row Records meant nothing in the end as he watched Suge Knight keep him shackled as an artist and his album as a prisoner. Lawsuits, artist's dying, greed, jealousy and police raids was the way of life at Death Row Records. If you live by the gun, you die by the gun... unless you can find a way to escape from Death Row.
