Not surprising really, considering the only thing Death Row had left was the final scraps of Tupac's back catalogue, which are now under Amaru records anyway. Ever singe Suge was sent down for assault / parole violation, his label's been on the rocks.
Lydia Harris? Is that the wife of prisoner Harry-O Harris, the notorious drug dealer and gangster facing 20+ for pedalling class A narcotics? The man who, in an attempt to legitimize his name, invested in Death Row and other entertainment ventures? (He also financed one of the first theatre productions to star a black leading male, some unheard of actor named Denzel Washington...)
Death Row was founded by crack money, run by criminals, and protected by one of the shadiest lawyers ever, namely David Kenner. The fact that Tha Row produced some of the best Gangsta Rap of its era is the only light overshadowing a company that did business based on assault, fear and intimidation.
Shame on Suge Knight for not paying his crack-slinging partner. Shame on him........
