Announcing the West Coast Takeover! Snoop Dogg and Tha Dogg Pound Shake Tha World!
Tha Dogg Pound: New "CALI IZ ACTIVE" Album Droppin' on June 27th! -- Appearances From Snoop Dogg, Daz Dillinger, Kurupt, Diddy, Lady of Rage, Nate Dogg, RBX, Ice Cube, David Banner, Paul Wall -- Tha Dogg Pound to Perform on "Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson" on June 26th!
It was over ten years ago that Tha Dogg
Pound laced the music world with their multiplatinum-selling debut album,
"Dogg Food." With Bigg Snoop Dogg again at the helm along with Daz
Dillinger and Kurupt a.k.a. Young Gotti, the bangin' and much-anticipated
new disc "CALI IZ ACTIVE" is re-energizing the Golden State music movement
and galvanizing the West Coast.
"We just came back together and made a classic Dogg Pound gangsta album,"
says Daz Dillinger. "Some of the original G sounds with a new twist, new
millennium G shit!" adds Kurupt.
Doggy Style Records in conjunction with KOCH Records will release Tha Dogg
Pound's new album,
"CALI IZ ACTIVE" on June 27, 2006. The CD follows Snoop's "Welcome to Tha
Chuuch - Da Album," which contained the Dogg Pound heater, "Real Soon."
Tha Dogg Pound has just completed an extensive, national tour opening for
Ice Cube. The West Coast bill was sold out in almost every market.
Besides Daz and Kurupt spittin' fire on the mic, the new album features Tha
Dogg Pound family (Snoop Dogg, RBX, Soopafly, and Bad Azz). Also appearing
are Diddy, Ice Cube, David Banner, Paul Wall and producing legends
Battlecat, Fredwreck, Rick Rock, Jazze Phae and Swizz Beatz. "A lot of
people came together to make this Dogg Pound record the biggest and best it
can be, and with Snoop's leadership we can never go wrong," says Kurupt.
"I'm like the quarterback," says Snoop Dogg, "putting the team together,
gluing it together. I'm the one that puts everything in the proper
perspective. Get everyone thinking alike, moving alike, loving alike. Let
everybody know that it's built on love first. If we love each first, the
music will kick right in."
Tha Dogg Pound album's long list of hardcore cuts will be strong contenders
for heavy national radio rotation -- like the first single, the
Battlecat-produced and soon-to-be classic, "CALI IZ ACTIVE," producer Ryan
Leslie's contribution "Heavyweights," and "Dogg Pound Gangstaz" produced by
The Alchemist.
"I'm letting everybody know that the West Coast is definitely making a
strong comeback," says Snoop Dogg. "Tha Dogg Pound sound is fresh and fly.
It's a beautiful thing for me to be able to work with them, and when we
drop this album it's gonna shake the whole game up! Chuuch."
