Tha Dogg Pound, also known as D.P.G. (Dogg Pound Gangstaz), is the imfamous rap duo made up of Kurupt and Daz Dillinger. They were signed to Death Row Records in their early careers and were key to the labels success.
An extended family, referred to as D.P.G.C. (short for the Dogg Pound Gangsta Clique), is been made up of Snoop Dogg, Nate Dogg, Soopafly, RBX, Warren G, Tray Deee, Bad Azz, Lil' 1/2 Dead, Big C-Style, Lil' C-Style, Lady of Rage, E-White, Goldie Loc, Roscoe, and Twinz.
The group made their 1992 rap debut on Dr. Dre's The Chronic, on various songs. They also appeared on Snoop's classic Doggystyle, and the Death Row soundtracks Murder Was The Case and Above The Rim. Their solo, Dogg Food, was released in 1995. It was another addition to the controversy of rap music due to the sexual and violent lyrics and went on to sell three million albums.
In 1996, they were featured on 2Pac's Death Row Records legendary and widely acclaimed debut All Eyez on Me. Kurupt and Daz went on to have solo success in 1998. They both eventually left Death Row Records, and Kurupt started Antra Records, while Daz started D.P.G. Recordz. In 2002 a feud arose between them because Kurupt had claimed that Daz betrayed him. Kurupt signed back to Death Row Records, and his awaited release Against Tha Grain has been postponed several times. Daz is still on D.P.G records, with his new 2005 release Tha Dogg Pound Gangsta LP. Sometime in April 2005 at the West Coast Conference held by Snoop Dogg, Kurupt and Daz reconciled and recorded their new single "Push Back" that same night. There will be two new Dogg Pound albums out this year. The first will be a D.P.G.C. album with Tha Dogg Pound, Snoop Dogg, Nate Dogg, Soopafly, Warren G, Bad Azz, and Tray Deee.
Daz released his first major label album since Retaliation, Revenge & Get Back on Jermaine Dupri's So So Def label titled So So Gangsta on September 12, 2006.
