Kurupt (natural Ricardo Brown; November 23, 1972) and Dat Nigga Daz (natural Delmar Arnaud; May 25, 1973) be Tha Dogg Pound (non to be disorder with Dogg Pound Posse, a unlike and much shorter-lived hard-core rap music group). The 2 Californians began their recording careers separately, both of them featured variously on the foundational Death Row tone ending, Dr. Dre's landmark The Chronic (1992). Kurupt and Daz were low billed together as Tha Dogg Pound on "Niggas Don't Give a Fuck," their contribution to the Poetical Justice soundtrack (1993). Later that year they reappeared as Tha Dogg Pound on Doggystyle, the solo debut of Snoop Doggy Dogg, where they were featured on a few songs, most conspicuously the strike single "Bow-wow Dogg World." In 1994 they were featured on a geminate of Death Row soundtracks, To a higher place the Rim ("Big Pimpin'") and Mangle Was the Case ("What Would U Do?," "World Health Organization Got Some Gangsta Shit?," "Come Up to My Room"). Around this like time, Daz established himself as a subject producer, with the Lady of Rage's "Afro Puffs" to his credit, among other tracks. End Row released Tha Dogg Pound's debut album, Dogg Food, on Halloween 1995. It was quite a a success, topping the Billboard 200 album chart. "Let's Play House" was the biggest hit, breaking into the Top 50 of the Hot century, spell "Unexampled York, New York" was an MTV favorite; in the video recording for the latter, Kurupt, Daz, and Snoop stomped Godzilla-like about the Big Apple, taunt their East Coast rivals. Tha Dogg Pound remained active thereafter, rapping on both 2Pac's All Eyez on Me (1996) and Snoop's Tha Doggfather (1996); Daz produced on a number of tracks on both albums as well, including the singles "2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted," "I Ain't Mad at Cha," and "Doggfather," not to cite legion record album tracks. With Dr. Dre's sudden departure from Death Row in 1996, Daz put on the vacated theatrical role of head in-house producer. And then with the murder of 2Pac and the imprisonment of label head Suge Knight after that same year, Daz put on leadership. Consequently, pretty much everything released by Death Row in the late '90s featured Daz prominently -- from the holiday digest Yule on Death Row (1996) and the two-CD Gridlock'd soundtrack (1997), to the never-released Danny Boy album and the long-delayed Lady of Rage debut, Necessary Roughness (1997), Daz was involved both as producer and rapper. Death Row began to untangle quick in the wake of 2Pac's dispatch, still, and Interscope Records sold its interest in the label in August 1997. As Suge sabbatum in prison and Snoop left for greener pastures, Daz (world Health Organization now billed himself as Daz Dillinger) tried to prevent the sinking transport rudderless. Released in March 1998, his solo debut, Revenge, Revenge and Get Back, was the concluding Death Row album of its era. (A vault's worth of unreleased Death Row material would be mined in subsequent long time, beginning with G-Funk Classics, Vols. 1 & 2, a double-disc Nate Dogg album released by Breakaway Records in July.) In the lag, Kurupt had already made arrangements for a solo career of his own. He'd left field Death Row shortly afterward 2Pac's off and gestural to Antra Records. His Antra debut, Kuruption!, was a dual record record album, and he followed it with Tha Streetz Iz a Mutha (1999) and Outer space Boogie: Smoke Oddessey (2001). While Kurupt was struggling with his solo career, which ground to a halt with Space Boogie, Daz was busy at the helm of D.P.G. Recordz (aka Gangsta Advisory Recordingz). He made his mark debut with R.A.W. (2000) and followed with legion others in the age that followed, notably a couple collaborations with Kurupt: Dillinger & Young Gotti (2001) and Dillinger & Young Gotti, Vol. 2: Tha Saga Continues (2005). Daz likewise mined his vault of unreleased recordings, issue The Last of tha Pound (2004) and DPGC : The Remix LP (2005). Death Row, rejuvenated -- for a moment, at least -- afterward Suge's return from prison, mined its own vault for old Dogg Pound recordings, issuing 2002 (2001). To the surprise of many, Kurupt returned to the Death Row flock in 2002, after his Antra take expired and his one-off coaction with Daz had run its course. He put on the theatrical role of vice prexy, a title once held by Dr. Dre; however, short material resulted from the arrangement, as his solo record album, Against tha Grain, was delayed repeatedly, all the way until 2005, by which time Kurupt's relationship with Suge had soured. Distributed and marketed by Koch, Against tha Grain sold ailing, and Kurupt left hand the confines of Death Row once again. He in turn mended his family relationship with Daz, wHO had developed an adversarial, and often antagonistic, relationship with Suge and Death Row, and by association, Kurupt. Snoop's supposed Western Conference in December 2005 went a long way toward initiating a new partnership between Kurupt and Daz, and a promising class hoped-for. In 2006, Daz released Kurupt's Same Day, Different Shit on D.P.G.; Koch released a fully fledged Dogg Pound reunification album, Cali Iz Active; and Jermaine Dupri released Daz's So So Gangsta on his So So Def Recordings judge. As if this snow flurry of 2006 releases weren't enough, Tha Dogg Pound returned in March 2007 with Dogg Chit, whose wrap up quotes that of Dogg Food. |
