LOS ANGELES, Sept. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- As Lydia Harris, co-founder of Death

After nearly two decades of legal battles with Knight over Death Row, in
2008 Harris decided to refocus on music forming a joint venture with Universal
Music Group and Bungalo Records to distribute LBE. In June, Harris met New
Jersey based Movin Music Platoon and made the group her first major signing
since forming Death Row in 1993 with then husband Michael "Harry-O" Harris and
Knight.
"Just like when we started Death Row, my only goal was to find a solid act
with strong music, and I did with MMP," said Harris. "After hearing just
three songs, I decided that 'Make It Flurry' would be LBE's debut record."
In her new book and DVD Married to the Game, due out in November, Harris
fills in vital details about how she and Harry-O started Death Row, signed Dr.
Dre and hired Suge to work with the artists as a manager.
"Now that the case is over, I am reediting the DVD with information I
could not share before," said Harris. "I cannot wait for the whole truth to
finally be told."
In 2005, after battling Knight for years for a share of Death Row Records,
Harris won a $107 million judgment which forced Knight into bankruptcy. On
June 27, with all appeals exhausted the court ordered the label sold for a
reported $24 million.

- The Mixtape, in October of that year, Picture Wit Me world-premiered on
Hot97 (New York) to strong reviews.
LBE and MMP are on tour, recently hosting events at the Ozone Awards in
Houston and for the Hittmenn DJ's in Atlanta. MMP performs Sept. 12 in Little
Rock.
