Tha Dogg Pound is an American hip-hop duo composed of West Coast rappers Kurupt and Daz Dillinger.

Kurupt and Daz went on to release solo albums starting in 1998; they left the crumbling Death Row Records following year.

Daz left due to long-lasting internal struggles on the label after friend and labelmate Tupac Shakur's murder in 1996.

In 2002, a feud arose between the two when Kurupt decided to sign back with Death Row Records, upsetting everyone involved with the group.

In January 2005, Daz made another solo album release titled Tha Dogg Pound Gangsta LP.

Tha Dogg Pound then got back together as a group and released Dillinger & Young Gotti II in November 2005.

[1] Between 1993 and 1994, the group assisted Hammer on his The Funky Headhunter album (such as the song "Sleepin' on a Master Plan" and others), along with Suge Knight and the Whole 9.

In 1996, Tha Dogg Pound were featured on 2Pac's Death Row Records debut album All Eyez on Me with Kurupt featured in "Got My Mind Made Up" and "Check Out Time" and Daz Dillinger producing the hit songs "2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted", "Ambitionz az a Ridah", and "I Ain't Mad At Cha".

In response Layzie Bone shot back on the track "Shotz to tha Double Glock" with the line "Dogg Pound hoes it's on.

The feud ended when Snoop Dogg and Kurupt were featured on Krayzie Bone's album Thug Mentality 1999 in the song "The War Iz On."

The duo engaged in yet another conflict, the beef Suge and new signee 2Pac initiated against Bad Boy Entertainment's Puff Daddy and Notorious B.I.G.

In late 2002, Kurupt shocked the entire DPGC and fans alike, when he accepted the job of executive producer at Death Row Records.

Daz, Soopafly, Snoop Dogg, and the rest of DPGC viewed this as betrayal and took many shots and dissed Kurupt harshly for making the move.

Kurupt responded heavily with his Originals album which featured many disses throughout nearly every song, most notably the bonus track "Eat a Dicc (Fucc Daz)".

[8][9] The struggling Death Row Records failed to promote Kurupt's album Against Tha Grain and the duo began to feel remorse for one another.

The duo started rapping together again and even made a new album together entitled Dillinger & Young Gotti II: Tha Saga Continuez.

Since then, the duo announced several projects, including Dillinger & Young Gotti III: Get Paid, a collaboration album with Pete Rock, and a re-announcement of the album Westcoast Aftershocc for 2011, as well as several solo projects from Kurupt working with various producers, from DJ Premier and Pete Rock to Fredwreck.

A few days later, the duo announced that their next group album will be entitled Alumni and is set to be executive produced by Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre, who will be co-producing and/or mixing several of the beats.
