Music & Me: A Nate Dogg Story

Rapper/Singer/Producer Nate Dogg was 1/3 of the group "213", and will forever live be a legend in the rap game! The dual talented artist made his debut on Dr. Dre's "The Chronic" back in 1992, and later signed to Death Row Records in 1993. From there Nate Dogg would go on to be apart of many more hits! He produced his first hit "Regulate" in 1994 featuring Warren G, and he also collaborated with Tupac on "Thug Life Vol. 1." Then after leaving Death Row Nate Dogg released his double album G-Funk Classics Vol. 1 & 2, and followed that with his 2001 release titled "Music & Me" which reached as high as #3 on the Billboard Hip-hop chart in the same year. Just years before his tragic passing he released his self-titled album "Nate Dogg" which was later rereleased as his first posthumous album in 2014. Nate Dogg passed away in 2011 of complications from multiple stroke, and although he is gone his legacy will forever live on through his music, and he will always be known as a legend in Long Beach.
