Tha Dogg Pound Biography
Tha Dogg Pound is an American hip hop duo made up of rappers Kurupt and Daz Dillinger. They were signed to Death Row Records in their early careers and were key to the label's success.
Kurupt and Daz went on to release solo albums starting in 1998. They eventually left the crumbling Death Row Records in 1999. Daz left due to long-lasting internal struggles on the label after friend and labelmate Tupac Shakur's murder in 1996. Kurupt started Antra Records, while Daz and Soopafly started D.P.G. Recordz. In 2002 a feud arose between the two when Kurupt decided to sign back with Death Row Records, upsetting everyone involved with the group. His awaited Death Row release "Against Tha Grain" had been postponed several times while Kurupt was on the label, later being released in August 2005, after he was off. In January 2005, Daz made another solo album release titled "Tha Dogg Pound Gangsta LP."
Tha Dogg Pound then got back together as a group and released "Dillinger & Young Gotti II" in November 2005. In 2006, Snoop Dogg executive produced released their official reunion album "Cali Iz Active."
Recently, tha Dogg Pound has been involved in various side projects; Kurupt announced the formation of supergroup 1st Generation, made up of himself, King Tee, Sir Jinx, Gangsta of tha Comradz and MC Eiht and producer Tha Chill of Compton's Most Wanted. Both Kurupt and Daz have formed a supergroup called the N'Matez consisting of themselves, the Lady of Rage, and RBX. In December 2011, Tha Dogg Pound put out the single "Forever in a Day," featuring Snoop Dogg, although they have not announced whether it is attached to a specific project. A few days later, the duo announced that their next group album will be entitled "Alumni" and is set to be executive produced by Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre, who will be co-producing and/or mixing several of the beats. The album will mark the first time a member of Tha Dogg Pound has collaborated with Dr. Dre since Kurupt's appearances on the producer's album "2001," and the first time Dre has collaborated with Tha Dogg Pound as a duo since he mixed their debut album, "Dogg Food." On December 2, 2012, Tha Dogg Pound released a collaboration mixtape with Snoop Dogg titled "That's My Work Vol. 1."
In 2021, Tha Dogg Pound is prepping to released their "Dogg Food II" album with the lead single "Let's Roll" debuted in late 2020. Their follow up single "Nice & Slow" was released on July 16th, 2021 and featured Snoop Dogg.
