Recently, HipHopDX exclusively spoke with John Payne of WIDEAwake about those unreleased records.
“From those 7,000 songs you’re talking about unreleased Snoop and unreleased [Dr.] Dre. There are also solo albums from people who worked on the [marquee artist’s] albums. There’s Jewell, who was an original Death Row artist. [Lady of] Rage has an album. There are Nate Dogg records. There are numerous Christmas albums. Anybody that you heard connected to Death Row, we have records from them. And there are also people that you’ve never heard of with albums too. We have R&B and Gospel, and nobody knew that Death Row had Gospel.“
Aside from this, WIDEAwake confirmed new music from Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes and a “Hit ‘Em Up II.”

New Death Row music should start hitting stores on April 18 as part of the aformentioned three track sampler.
