Harry O was an infamous drug dealer who helped make Death Row a reality. He was lookin to go into the entertainment biz so David Kenner, the Death Row lawyer, hooked em both up. So they made Godfather entertainment and under it they created Death Row Records. After a while Suge found a way to make Death Row run, but not under Godfather ent. so this way he didnt have to pay him. Also he stopped answering Harry O's calls from jail and they got beef to this day. Suge called him a snitch for some reason, but the way I see it Suge backstabbed him and he needs to watch out when Harry's Out. Go swoop up the Welcome to Death Row DVD it tells u all about it and they got an interview from jail wit Michael Harris aka Harry O
That's basically it, but David Kenner was a criminal defense lawyer first for Harry-O and Waterhead Bo Bennett (another known multi-millionaire baller from LA). Harry-O hooked Suge up with David Kenner. It's a little more to the story than this though, but if I speak on it, that'll be like dry snitchin', so I'm not. How do I know about it. I was in the feds with Freeway Rick, Bo Bennet, and Harry-O. Freeway Rick is my nigga til' this day (I just got a kite and a flic from him 2 weeks ago), and Rick was the first nigga to tell me that Harry-O really owned Death Row in '91 or '92, I didn't believe him until Eazy (R.I.P.)came out in the Rapages magazine and said it (it was the issue Eazy was in a suit standing by a world globe on a desk). Then after the riot in FCI Phoenix (the fed spot where me and Rick and Bo was at) they sent me to MDC LA in summer '93 right when Snoop caught that Murder case. After they let me out of the hole after 2 months they put me on the floor with Harry-0, and my nigga from Oakland introduced us, and we kicced it, and he told me about Death Row, the reason why RBX left, and some mo' shit. By this time Freeway Rick was out, and Harry-0 would call him, and let me talk to him. I mentioned all this shit on my first album on my 3rd verse to "On ah come up mission (from a smaller to a baller)". But it's a little more to the story that people don't know about it, and it's not my place to speak on it. The only thing I will ever speak is what everybody else already knows.
But Harry-O isn't a GD homey. He grew up in blood hood, but he wasn't a banger, but respected on the streets. Harry-O's brother was a notorious baller too, but he fell off his yacht in the 80's (so they say) and died. Harry-O probably won't ever get out, cuz he has 20 yrs for the feds which was ran consecutive with his state sentence of 27 yrs to life for tryin' to kill his cousin (that's a story in itself), and consecutive means he has to finish his state sentence first (and with that "L" he will probably never get out), and then do his fed time, but he's hopin' to beat the state case, and then get out in a couple of years from the feds. He's been locced up since '88, and off of 20 yrs fed time you have to do 17 and some change. So you never know, but like I said I'm only goin' to speak on what's already out there...1

Lil C.S. is a real trooper for keeping it real...Harry-O is a cool cat, I spoke with him on a way about 2yrs. ago, his wife plugged us, he was Interested in Moss Maja at the time, but nothing really didn't take place. And as far as Free Way, I was signed to his label back in 91 to Free way Records which never got off the ground, the Name off my group was called "The Nina Mob" two crips and two bloods. We where from Pomona, Sacramento and Long Beach. But the Feds snatched Free way up and nothing ever happen. We where in the process of building a studio off of Crenshaw and Adams on the corner. We had so much money to promote it would've been off the chain. The feds where taking pictures of us daily on the corner, we laughed and continued to do our thing. But that was the good ole days, when the west was on top. Suge really fucked his self up with Harry-O and I'ma leave it at that. I'm doing a story in Grooveline Magazine Called "THE LAST OF THE DYING G's" basically it's about Harry-O, Freeway Rick, Monster Cody, Big Stanka from Pomona South Side Village Crip and other O.G.'s that put L.A. on the map as far as making paper and distributing to the neighborhoods. It's not going down like that anymore, alot of the youngsters disrespected the game and didn't follow the chain of command as the Mexican Mafia still do till this day. The Crips and Bloods are on another page, we're not family oriented in the hustle game like the mexicans and the asians, this will be spoken on in the book and the story in Grooveline Magazine. But I'm glad this topic was brought up cuz it really need to be told to youngstaz these days, L.A. is lost as we speak.
Yeah OG, I know the theatre you're talkin' about on Crenshaw and Adams. Rick was talkin' about trying to make it into a West Coast Apollo, along with the headquarters of his label. He showed me the flics when he got em' to me and my celly. It needed a little work, but it had major potential. And Harry-O's wife was a singer too. I hate to say it too homey, but niggaz will never be family oriented like that. The closest blac gang to bein' organized is the GD's (Gangsta Disciples which switched to Growth & Development). They pay dues, and have a serious rank system. But they got them real good about 5 yrs ago. My cousin got life in the feds on the Larry Hoover/GD case. They did him dirty though. He went to see Larry Hoover on a visit (all top leiutenants had to see him 3x's a year), and they gave him a visitor's badge with a mic in it, and that's how he got his case. But hopefully he can get some his time knocced down on appeal. But on the real homey, that So. Cal mentality is our own worst enemy (from the rap game to the street shit). It's cold but it's true...
