It's a Wednesday night at the Can-Am studios and Danny Boy, Suge's most recent hit-maker-to-be, is hanging around the office. He's usually wherever Suge is. He just turned 17 and Suge, who was looking for an R & B singer to round out the Death Row stable, has pretty much adopted him. "I wanted a guy with Michael Jackson status," Suge explains. "Not the hair and the skin, but that kind of star quality. Like Snoop. Snoop is a star. And I wanted that in a singer."
Suge did research. He doesn't trust tapes, so he saw 20 or 30 possibilities before choosing Danny Boy. "I wanted a guy under my wing who was sexy," Suge says. "I met Danny Boy. He's from Chicago. I met him when he was 15, and he was right."
Danny Boy, who is handsome in a teen-idol sort of way, beams at Suge's remark.
When Danny Boy first arrived in L.A., Suge rented him a room at the Peninsula, a luxe hotel in Beverly Hills. He gave Danny Boy the use of a Rolls limo and a charge card for incidentals. It got out of hand. "He had girls coming over for manicures and pedicures and Cristal and whatever," Suge says. "And then I get this bill. I said, 'Don't be Hollywood.' And he stopped. I told him, 'Fans will always love you, but that Hollywood [expletive] is a problem.' "
Since then Danny Boy has been a model son. He wants to make Suge proud. R & B is a radical departure for Death Row, but a smart one: there are those who think gangsta rap may have peaked. Danny Boy is a savvy addition if the label is going to evolve into what Suge would like it to be -- the Motown of the 90's. "Sing something, Danny Boy," Suge says. "Sing."

Danny Boy belts on command.
When he's finished, Danny Boy smiles at Suge and sort of rocks from side to side. Suge doesn't say anything. It's clear that Danny Boy is talented, but how that talent plays itself out is in many ways up to Suge's business expertise. "I have no doubt," Suge says matter-of-factly. "He will outsell anybody." Danny Boy smiles and says, "I think it's gonna happen." Suge just fixes him with that look of his. He doesn't think it's gonna happen. He knows.
