Snoop Dogg and his son, Cordell Broadus, are officially launching Death Row Games.

According to reports, the new arm of Death Row Records will focus on giving minority creators and artists a platform to develop and publish for Fortnite using the game’s Unreal Editor. “We’ve been creating games, and none of them has been published anything on a huge scale, but on a very amateur level,” Broadus told AFROTECH. “We’ve been around games for the last five to six years. And Snoop, he’s done mobile games. A few of them in the past five to six years in apps and stuff like that. So we’ve always had the mindset of building it on our own.”


He added, “We felt like let’s really put resources into building Death Row Games and making a home for diverse creators in the gaming ecosystem and be a part of the narrative, the storytelling of what the next game should be looking like. And I keep saying ‘show representation of the culture in these sectors,’ versus us just being the talent. We wanted to make sure that we’re part of the decision that’s being made and more importantly tell these stories from diverse creators and focus on creatives in underserved communities.”

Did that Master P game ever come out?

 

[Elder Legend]

Yes cause smoking weed, robbing people and drug dealing is so diverse and important to the society. Snopp Dawg is old and irrelevant these days, guess his looking for some brownie points. Disappointing.

Id say hes still pretty relevant hes always in new ads etc...

 

[Jigsaah]

I wish them both luck. the Gaming community will not be as kind as the people who listen to music. Hope they are ready for that.

GTA exists for a reason

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Not going to knock the household but I see nothing about you coming out of this but credit to him and his son or something cool for themselves

 

[Elder Legend]

GTA actually tells good stories though and not the stupid stereotypical hood culture bullshit that these older rappers are known for.

 

[Krieger]

Don't let Suge Knight know about this or he'll send his men to kill Neil Druckmann.

[Cert.in.Death]

Def Jam 2.0

Do it

 

[ManaByte]

GTA actually tells good stories though

GTA is just a parody of every mafia/crime movie ever made with edgy jokes. GTA VI will be that but without the edgy jokes.

 

[JohnnyPhats]

 

[ReBurn]

More games is good.

[delfrickintree]

Thanks for the dope ass news, AFROTECH!!

What

 

[chromhound]

They could buy Saint Row

 

[Codes 208]

What

Yeah idk, im pretty sure 80% of my gta time was spent shooting hookers, robbing banks, finding drugs that turn you into animals, and racing cars in deathruns with windmill obstacles

 

[Badlucktroll]

He should make a trailer park boys game that plays like gta 5 where you can switch between the 3 main guys. Randy could give stupid quests around the park in the early game

 

[Kurotri]

Bro I didn't even know he had a son

snoop is actually relevant still, he found out ways throughout decades to remain relevant.

 

[Kenneth Haight]

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

After seeing some of his Twitch vids, he's not much of a gamer. This is just about money.

 

[Laieon]

Yeah, soccer moms love the guy. He's wholesome now.

 

[LazyParrot]

How does this even work? Can third party publishers publish content for Fortnite?

 

[Gambit2483]

 

[hepfom]

I think it's about giving his son a job to justify the money Snoop is probably forking out to him rather than just getting an actual job.

 

[drotahorror]

Yeah I don't even know wtf they're talking about. Making Fortnite mini games? Like Roblox shit?

 

[havoc00]

Yeah, soccer moms love the guy. He's wholesome now.

He sells sketchers now

 

[Chuck Berry]

I’m on board as long as it leads to either a sequel or spiritual successor to 50 Cent: Blood On The Sand.

That, is what you call an underrated game.

 

[iamvin22]

They should follow up with "death row ip's". Dead on arrival.

 

[bender]

Yo 50, jump over that big ass ramp.

 

[West Texas CEO]

They should do a FFT like srpg.

Ghetto Fabulous Tactics

 

[Gudji]

There will be smoking in-game for sure.

I bought it for like 70 bucks over the summer and don’t regret it one bit

 

[Gaiff]

If they can make a proper sequel to Def Jam Fight for NY, count me in.

 

[Flutta]

 

[RavageX]

Here I was thinking this would be a revival of the Def Jam games in some form. (The first 2...not that Icon shit)

Very, very disappointed.

 

[Chuck Berry]

I bought it for like 70 bucks over the summer and don’t regret it one bit

And I bet you got more fun out of that $70 than you did for most other shit this year.

I say it all the time, hold on to those “older” games (6th and 7th gen stuff especially)

 

[chromhound]

Tupac : The video Game

Snoop will forever hate on Tupac on the low...

 

[havoc00]

The game is to be sold not told

 

[Syphon Filter]

Tupac : The video Game

Snoop will forever hate on Tupac on the low...

how come people say that? i dont think he does.

 

[AJUMP23]

Tax shelter the game company

 

[amigastar]

A GTA Clone with suge knight as protagonist?

Spoiler

nvm, i'll let myself out

 

[ungalo]

50 Cent Blood on the sand 2

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

I've never seen someone so triggered by something so utterly irrelevant.

 

[Pejo]

Tax shelter the game company

I mean there's less conspicuous ways to do that. He could have opened a mattress store.

I hope his first game is a Cooking Mama ripoff, just to throw everybody off.

Wish I had the opportunity to start a gaming company with my dad.
