Snoop Dogg, Tha Dogg Pound & The Lady Of Rage Hop On DJ Premier Beat
Snoop Dogg and Tha Dogg Pound have called back to the glory days of Death Row by teaming up with The Lady Of Rage and RBX on a posse cut produced by DJ Premier.
On Friday (May 31), the West Coast duo released their long awaited ninth studio album, W.A.W.G. (We All We Got). Among several other commendable songs is “Who Da Hardest?,” which features the aforementioned veterans on a bar heavy joint.
“Kurupt, Daz [Dillinger], Snoop, RBX marks the target/ I’m a DPG demi-goddess, I’m the hardest,” Rage spits on the track with her longtime collaborators, with whom she has released a number of tracks dating back even before her solo debut single, 1994’s “Afro Puffs,” which featured Snoop on both the regular version and the classic extended remix.
Check out their latest material below:
The new album was released by Gala Records in conjunction with Death Row Records.
“Gala Music is at the forefront of ushering both established and emerging artists into Web3 and introducing them to the many opportunities that exist in the space,” president of Gala Records Leila Steinberg said in a press release announcing the new album. “And we couldn’t be more excited to partner with Death Row Records and a legendary Hip-Hop group, Tha Dogg Pound, on their first Web3 releases!”
Snoop purchased Death Row Records in a surprising move last year, following which he welcomed the imprint’s iconic catalog back to streaming.
The Long Beach native caught fans by surprise in early 2023 by announcing that the gangsta-rap label’s discography will be returning to streaming services.
Said catalog includes essential ’90s rap releases such as Dr. Dre’sThe Chronic, Snoop Dogg’s Doggystyle and Tha Doggfather, 2Pac’sAll Eyez On Me and The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory, and Tha Dogg Pound’sDogg Food.

Fans can also dive back in to the soundtracks for Above the Rim, Murder Was the Case and Gridlock’d as well as compilations such as Death Row Greatest Hits and Christmas on Death Row.
Appearing on DJ Hed and Chuck Dizzle’s Home Grown Radio podcast this week, the “Vato” hitmaker revealed that he and Daz Dillinger had not been on speaking terms. However, they set aside their differences soon after the passing of Snoop’s Bing Worthington earlier this year.
“My little brother had passed away, and one thing about my little brother is he loved the fuck outta Daz. He loved us together,” he explained.
He and Daz then got on the phone, prompting a healing process that led to W.A.W.G.
