Suge Knight Gets Book Deal With Riverhead Books

Riverhead Books put out a press release Tuesday to announce that they’ve acquired the memoir Marion ‘Suge’ Knight, founder of Death Row Records. “I see this book as another opportunity to give back to the community,” Knight said. “I want young people to know how terrible prison is. I want them to understand the
importance of education — that there are more ways to get out of the ghetto than by being an athlete or a rapper. I want them to dream about success and then make it happen.” Riverhead plans to publish the as-yet-untitled work in hardcover in 2003.
