America’s outgoing president, Donald Trump, has reportedly granted pardon to Michael ‘Harry-O’ Harris, the co-founder of Death Row Records.
According to reports from REVOLT, the pardon seemed to have been influenced by fellow rapper, Snoop Dogg, who was said to have had private talks with Trump on January 19, to pardon the record label co-founder before leaving office. It appears the discussion worked.
Death Row Records is said to be one of the most influential hip hop labels in the game and Harry-O has been behind bars for 32 years. He was reportedly in the can for attempted murder and cocaine trafficking.

Weldon Angelos, who was also granted presidential pardon by Donald Trump in December 2020, said that 59-year-old Harris was aware that he had been pardoned at the Lompoc Federal Correctional Institution in California.
The record label co-founder had also reportedly told Angelos that it felt like the weight of the world had been lifted off his shoulders and he thanked God for his new situation.
Another rapper, Jim Jones, wasted no time in celebrating Harris’ pardon on social media. He welcomed the ex-convict back home and said that his freedom was a good thing because he could help influence young people to focus.
Jones mentioned other names who he felt also deserved to be pardoned.
He wrote:
