Harry O (Michael Harris) sat down with radio personailty, Big Boy to talk about his time in prison, Death Row Records, Snoop Dogg, receiving clemency from Donald Trump and more.

 

 

In the 1980s, Michael “Harry-O” Harris was known as the Godfather on the streets of South Central Los Angeles.

Working with Bloods and Crips, and the Colombian cartel, Harris was in charge of a nationwide drug trafficking operation that brought in nearly $2 million daily.

Harry-O’s past caught up with him and he was sentenced to prison, 25 to life +2.

Two years in the pen, Harris was introduced to Suge and teamed up with him to co-found Death Row Records. The label helped launch the careers of legendary hip-hop artists such as Tupac Shakur, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre and more.

In 2021, in a surprise pardon by then-President Donald Trump, Harris was granted his freedom after spending 33 years behind bars. While many thought Death Row Records had shut down permanently, Harris went right back to work once freed, partnering with Snoop Dogg as the COO of the all-new Death Row Records.
