Silent Knight - Saga

Advantages: the truth
Disadvantages: the lie

...For all you fans out there you will be interested to know that The Outlaws are preceding a lawsuit against Deathrow Record lcc. This started due to poor album sales which is caused by Suge Knight who is the CEO who did not purposely market the album well in order for it to have low sales, i.e., only one music video, hardly any advertisement. Suge Knight’s desire for this mischief is due to his personally benefit.
