Snoop Dogg, the West Coast rap legend and owner of Death Row Records, has made significant moves by reinstating one of the label’s former artists. In an exciting announcement on Instagram, Snoop revealed that Danny Boy is back home at Death Row after years away.

Danny Boy returns to Death Row
The reunion
Danny Boy, the veteran R&B singer, has officially rejoined Death Row Records. After more than two decades, he’s back in the studio, cooking up new music alongside Snoop Dogg. The news spread like wildfire, drawing reactions from fellow artists and fans alike.
The instagram announcement
Snoop Dogg took to Instagram to share the exciting news. Alongside a video of Danny Boy working in the studio, Snoop wrote,
"He’s back home."
The post garnered enthusiastic responses from DJ Quik (“This is 🔥”) and DJ Premier (“WOWWWWWWW”). R&B stars Omarion, Faith Evans, and Anthony Hamilton also expressed their excitement.
Danny Boy’s journey
Danny Boy’s musical journey began when Suge Knight signed him to Death Row Records at the tender age of 16. His soulful voice graced iconic tracks on 2Pac’s albums, including “All Eyez on Me” and “The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory.” Fans remember him for hits like “I Ain’t Mad at Cha,” “Picture Me Rollin’,” and “Heaven Ain’t Hard 2 Find.”
The unreleased debut album
Despite his talent, Danny Boy’s debut album, “It’s About Time,” remained shelved by Death Row. Fortunately, it saw the light of day in 2010, with DJ Quik producing most of the project. The album featured guest appearances from Roger Troutman and Jodeci member Joel “JoJo” Hailey.
Snoop’s previous offer
Snoop Dogg had previously extended an invitation to Danny Boy. A video of Danny Boy singing online caught Snoop’s attention, and he wrote on Instagram, “Your seat on Death Row awaits you.” Now, that seat is officially filled, marking a new chapter for both Danny Boy and the label.
Danny Boy’s signing follows another exciting development at Death Row. Tha Dogg Pound, another iconic act, is set to release their new album, “We All We Got,” via Snoop’s imprint this summer. The label continues to make waves, and fans eagerly await the music that awaits.
Snoop Dogg’s decision to bring Danny Boy back to Death Row Records is a testament to the label’s enduring legacy. As fans celebrate this reunion, we look forward to hearing the magic that Danny Boy and the Death Row family will create together. Stay tuned for more updates!
