Former Drug Lord And Death Row Records Founder To Be Released From Jail After 31 Years

Former crack cocaine kingpin and music label head Michael 'Harry O' Harris will be released from prison after 31 years behind bars.

O'Harris was a co-founder of Death Row Records, the label that signed Dr. Dre, Tupac Shakur and Snoop Dogg.


He helped run the multi-million dollar music empire from his cell after investing $1.5m (£1.2m) to start the business initially.

Although he got caught up in the world of crime for a time, including dealing with drug cartels, Harris was a successful businessman, running a string of businesses including the theatre company that gave Denzel Washington his first break.

In 1988, Harris was sent down for kidnap and attempted murder, but has since reinvented himself while in prison, saying he's matured.

Now 57 years old, he is being held at a Federal Correctional Facility in Lompoc, California but will be released at some point in mid-August

He will then be taken to a halfway house in San Antonio in Texas - the city where his daughter Mykel lives.

Other news report that DJ Vlad is somewhere salivating at the thought of his release.
