hip hop producer
and rapper mostly known for his membership in the rap duo Tha Dogg Pound
, with Kurupt
, and his work with Death Row Records
.
's then-girlfriend, Paradise. He was signed to the label and subsequently began working with Dr. Dre
on the breakthrough west coast album, The Chronic
; during its recording, he met and grew close to Kurupt
, whom he would soon work with professionally. The two formed Tha Dogg Pound
for Doggystyle, the debut album of his cousin the record label's up-and-coming star Snoop Dogg
. The critically acclaimed album, as well as their later single "What Would You Do?
", saw Tha Dogg Pound partake in the rivalry between Dr. Dre and former N.W.A.
groupmate Eazy-E
, by dissing artists on Eazy's Ruthless Records.
Dillinger was more heavily involved in Doggystyle than was his groupmate; while it was produced and mixed by Dre, Arnaud was featured on one track and received co-production credit on two ("Serial Killa" and "For All My Niggaz and Bitches") he also produced tracks for Above The Rim and Murder Was the Case soundtracks. Following Daz and Kurupt put out their debut group album, Dogg Food
, to rave reviews and platinum sales. While the duo dissed Ruthless act Bone Thugs-N-Harmony
on the album, Dogg Food also saw the duo engage in yet another conflict, this time the beef Suge and new signee 2Pac initiated against Bad Boy Entertainment's Puff Daddy and Notorious B.I.G.
; Daz and Kurupt would expand the feud to include Capone-N-Noreaga
, Tragedy Khadafi
and Mobb Deep
with their Snoop-assisted single "New York, New York."
. Even before Dre left the label to found his own Aftermath Entertainment
, Daz went to produce the hit songs "2 Of Amerikaz Most Wanted", "Ambitionz Az A Ridah", and "I Ain't Mad At Cha" among other tracks which solidified his status as a talented and successful producer. Arnaud effectively took over as head producer, crafting most of the double-album's first disc and providing beats for Snoop Dogg's sophomore effort, Tha Doggfather
, from which Dre's production was absent. His status as head producer was made official once Dre left, and continued on even after 2Pac's murder and the artist-exodus it initiated. During his tenure heading the label's sound, Daz contributed production to the Gridlock'd
soundtrack, Lady of Rage
's Necessary Roughness
, and Nate Dogg
's G-Funk Classics, Vol. 1. His production would also pop up on the unofficial Snoop Dogg release Dead Man Walkin put out by Suge in 2001, after Daz himself had left the label.
Dillinger went on to put out his own solo album, Retaliation, Revenge and Get Back on Death Row in 1998; Nate Dogg, Kurupt and Snoop had already left the label, followed shortly thereafter by Daz himself. During this time a short-lived feud sparked between Daz and Snoop, regarding the latter's words against Suge Knight and the former's status at the label and disses inherent in the album, which Snoop Dogg later dropped out of respect for his cousin.
, and B-Legit
; he put out the album R.A.W. in 2000, the flagship release for his own D.P.G. Recordz
, which would for some time function as a vehicle for releasing solo albums. He and Kurupt united in 2001 for a second album, Dillinger & Young Gotti
, which received mixed reviews, under the name D.P.G. (as Suge still owned rights to the name 'Tha Dogg Pound' at the time). The group unity was short-lived, as Kurupt would subsequently re-sign with Death Row, prompting his former groupmate to diss him several times in song and interviews. Daz dissed Death Row with "Catch U In The Club", "U Ain't Shit" and a skit called "A Message to Ricardo Brown". Kurupt respond with "No Vaseline Part 2." The feud carried on from 2002 to 2005, while Dillinger released several solo efforts, including a 'DPGC' album with Snoop Dogg, Soopafly and Bad Azz
and Tha Dogg Pound Gangsta LP
on his own.
's So So Def. The duo immediately commenced to releasing albums, including Dillinger & Young Gotti II: The Saga Continuez, the Let'z Ryde Tonite EP and Cali iz Active with Snoop Dogg as the DPG. Their next proper album came in the form of 2007's Dogg Chit
, and then in 2009 with "That Was Then This Is Now". In the works for Daz are two Dogg Pound releases, one entitled 100 Wayz--formerly Westcoast Aftershocc, through Snoop Dogg's Doggystyle records, and one produced in conjunction with Pete Rock
. August 1, 2008, Daz Dillinger offered the new owners of Death Row Records to record videos for Dogg Food; he also plans to repackage and release unreleased material.
