“I think it’s dope for a father and a son to be working together for one, and for two, he’s 51 years old”.
Broadus continued…
“So he may be out of touch with some of these things. And I’m always there to keep him up to speed and translate information to him in a tone that he can understand.
I think that’s more important… but just as much as I’m giving him game, he’s given me the keys to make these decisions with an IP as big as his”.
Furthermore. The 26-year-old revealed that he is working with the estate of his father’s former Death Row labelmate, 2Pac.
Also. He explained how his father’s support has allowed him to venture into new territory, saying…

More to this. Cordell Broadus also shared his vision for Death Row Games. Further emphasizing on the importance of representation and storytelling in the gaming industry.
He stated…
“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”.
