Dr. Dre Sues Death Row Records

Producer/rapper Dr. Dre has just filed a lawsuit against Death Row Records/WIDEawake Entertainment since he has yet to receive money from his album The Chronic in over 14 years.

Upon leaving Death Row Records in the mid-nineties Dr. Dre was no longer cut in on any of The Chronics profits. Even when the album was re-released last year as The Chronic Re-Lit he did not receive any kind of payment from the label.

"When it came to paying artist royalties and honoring limits on Dr. Dre recordings that could be released, the new Death Row Records, to quote our client, 'forgot about Dre,'" Howard King, Dr. Dres attorney, said in a statement. "This lawsuit will make sure they remember."

Dr. Dre also claims that WIDEawake Entertainment, the company that bought Death Row Records, released The Chronic Re-Lit without his consent and that the company profited greatly from the re-release. Dr. Dre is suing for at least $75,000.
