(3/11/03, 7 a.m. ET) -- Tha Row Records CEO Marion "Suge" Knight made his first public appearance since being released from a Los Angeles jail on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live Monday night (March 10th). Knight was joined on the show by his protege, Crooked I.

Knight, who was released from prison on February 25th, had been in Los Angeles county jail since December 23rd for violating the terms of his parole by associating with gang members and failing to notify the prison board that he moved to nearby Malibu.

The prison board credited Knight for his 61 days in custody and ordered him to perform 200 hours of anti-gang community service.

The next slated release from Tha Row Records is the DysFunKtional Family soundtrack, which is due out March 25th. The first single from the set is "Still Tha Row" featuring Crooked I and Virginya Slim.
