The West Coast is heating up again as Snoop Dogg teams up with Manchester, Death Row Records’ newest A&R, to host one of the most anticipated rap battles of the year.

Set to bring together raw talent, street energy, and the true essence of hip-hop, this Death Row Records Rap Battle will give rising MCs a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity:

🏆 $10,000 cash prize + a single deal with Death Row Records.

This isn’t just a competition — it’s a movement. Snoop and Manchester are on a mission to discover the next voice of the West, a new generation of lyricists who can carry on the legacy of the iconic label that helped shape global hip-hop culture.

💬 “Yesterday’s price ain’t today’s price. We’re building something historic — it’s time to give real talent a shot,” said Manchester, who was personally appointed by Snoop Dogg to help develop and scout emerging artists for the new Death Row era.

With Death Row Records continuing to evolve under Snoop’s leadership, this event marks a new chapter in the label’s history — one that fuses the spirit of the 90s with the drive and innovation of today’s creators.
