According to reports, American record executive and convicted felon Suge Knight is coming up with a podcast that he would broadcast from behind bars dubbed “Collect Call With Suge Knight”.
Suge Knight was a co-founder and former CEO of Death Row Records, an American independent record label established in 1991 alongside The D.O.C., Dr. Dre, and Dick Griffey.
At the peak of his career, Knight spent a few years in prison for assault convictions and violations of probation.
A fatal 2015 hit-and-run incident saw Knight pleading no contest to voluntary manslaughter which later got him sentenced to 28 years in prison in 2018.
Dave Mays, CEO of Breakbeat Media and co-founder of Source Magazine, is supporting Suge in this endeavor, and he just discussed the program with TMZ.
