Suge Knight Announces New Memoir 'Your Pain Is My Joy'

Suge Knight, Death Row Records co-founder and longtime CEO and Gallery Books announced that that it is publishing Knight’s upcoming My Joy Is Your Pain, which will be released on Aug. 4. Per a press release, the “shockingly candid” book “takes readers on an unflinching ride through Suge's Compton neighborhood to the peak of the gangsta rap era, when the streets and the music business mixed freely. Death Row under Knight’s leadership had icons including Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and 2Pac, and Knight is sure to discuss all of them. In fact, he promises that he will share, for the first time, his version of what happened on the night of Pac’s murder. Knight was famously driving the car, with Pac as a passenger, when the rapper was fatally shot. “I have listened to people try and rewrite history for years. Your Pain Is My Joy isn’t an apology or an excuse: It’s my truth about Tupac, Death Row, and my life. After you read this book, your question marks will turn into periods,” Knight said.
