Tha Dogg Pound

Tha Dogg Pound is a rap duo made up of Kurupt and Daz Dillinger. The group was originally made up of Kurupt, Daz, Warren G, Nate Dogg and Snoop Dogg, but was possibly shortened due to the solo success of Warren, Nate and Snoop.
The group made their 1992 rap verse debut on Dr. Dre's The Chronic, on various songs. They also appeared on Snoop's classic Doggystyle, and the Death Row soundtracks Murder Was The Case and Above The Rim. Their solo, Dogg Food, was released in 1995. It was another addition to the controversy of rap music due to the sexual and violent lyrics.
In 1996, they were featured on 2pac's legendary All Eyez On Me. Kurupt and Daz went on to have solo success in 1998. They both eventually left Death Row Records, and Kurupt started Antra Records, while Daz started D.P.G. Recordz. In 2003 a feud arose between them because Kurupt had claimed that Daz betrayed him. Kurupt signed back to Death Row Records in 2004, and his awaited release "Against Tha Grain" has been postponed several times. Daz is still on D.P.G records, with his new 2005 release "Tha Dogg Pound Gangsta LP".
