This release marks a continuation of Tha Dogg Pound’s triumphant return. In April, they dropped the single “Smoke Up” featuring Snoop Dogg, and now they’ve announced their new album, W.A.W.G. (We All We Got), which will be released on May 31, 2024, on Gala Music and other major streaming platforms. This album is their first with Snoop Dogg since their reunion in 2005 and their first on Death Row Records since their 1995 debut, Dogg Food.

Since its emergence in the early 1990s, Tha Dogg Pound has been a trendsetter and barrier-breaker in the music industry. Its collaboration with Gala Music highlights its commitment to innovation, offering fans new ways to engage with its music through Web3 technology.

“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,” said Gala’s President of Music, Leila Steinberg. “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!”

Gala Music seamlessly integrates Web3 and music, providing a unique and immersive entertainment experience. Their relationship with Death Row Records began in 2022 with the release of Snoop Dogg’s album, Bacc on Death Row (B.O.D.R.), via Gala’s platform. Through cutting-edge technologies and strategic partnerships, Gala Music redefines how fans connect with their favorite artists.

Mount Westmore Releases Their Album ‘Bad MFs’ On Gala Music’s Metaverse

Mount Westmore, the supergroup consisting of California rap pioneers E-40, Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg, and Too Short, has released their debut album, Bad MFs, but there’s a catch: Right now, it only exists in the metaverse. The album can be streamed on the blockchain-based platform Gala Music for a limited time, then it will be given a traditional release. The group premiered the project at Gala Music’s Galaverse event in Malta, dropping an introductory video to announce its release.

The album’s release could provide a clue about Snoop Dogg’s plans to bring the Death Row Records catalog, which he recently acquired, to the metaverse. Shortly after he secured the label and its music, Snoop said he wanted to make Death Row the “first NFT label” and this could be what he means.

Mount Westmore kicked their album’s rollout in the spring of 2021, when they announced their union’s official title during E-40 and Too Short’s Verzuz battle, where they also debuted their first group single, “Big Subwoofer.” They followed up the video for the single in October of 2021, then kept the ball rolling with the “Bad MFs” video in March this year.

Bad MFs is out now via Gala Music. Check out the tracklist below.
