History
In early 2009 Death Row Records co-founder and former CEO Suge Knight formed a new record company called Black Kapital Records as a vehicle of releases after his former label Death Row Records filed for bankruptcy, rumored to be due to having few artists and Knight's prison time. Suge Knight alongside Manager Nino Cappuccino, Young Life and Suge Knight's current label A&R coordinator Lesane Casino debuted a reality show called Unfinished Business. The show was based on Knight dispelling long-standing rumors in sit down interviews, his days with Death Row and the artists he worked with, and finding new talent for his record label.
