Snoop Dogg Surprises Everyone As Tha Dogg Pound Reunites For Bouncy “Smoke Up”

by

Just hours ago, word came out that Tha Dogg Pound, could be up to something exciting. Numerous reports, including from us, discovered that Snoop Dogg was resharing some clips from other rap icons and current stars all asking similar questions. “Dog, I gotta question: what happened to Tha Dogg Pound? I heard they broke up, is that true? That’s what I heard.” Those were the words of Swizz Beatz, but others such as Tyrese Gibson, Flavor Flav, and NLE Choppa were sending in the same inquiries. Well, we have now come to learn that those FaceTime calls were being compiled for a single from Tha Dogg Pound called “Smoke Up.”

It all makes sense when you watch the music video below. They were all chopped together before Snoop finally comes in and shuts down the breakup rumors. “Damn, everybody sayin’ the same s*** huh. Well, check this out. F*** what you heard.” It then cuts to a G-funk banger with the trio sporting matching tracksuits.

Listen To “Smoke Up” By Snoop Dogg & Tha Dogg Pound

Snoop, Kurupt, and Daz Dillinger sound extremely hungry over the hard-hitting instrumental as they call out all the people saying the group was finished. It has the ultimate 90s feel and this one of the best posse cuts we have heard so far. After the song ends, it seems there is another snippet of some other track and an interesting outro. It involves dolls of Snoop, Michael Myers, and The Joker; yes you heard that correctly.

Tha Dogg Pound Reunion: Snoop Dogg, Swizz Beatz, Flavor Flav & More Tease Duo’s Comeback

by

Members of Tha Dogg Pound may have gone their separate ways in the late 90s, but it appears as though a reunion could finally be in the works. This week, several mysterious videos popped up on Snoop Dogg’s Instagram page, seemingly hinting that there’s something on the way. The videos feature Swizz Beatz, Flavor Flav, and even NLE Choppa. In them, they inquire about whatever happened to the pair, made up of Kurupt and Daz Dillinger.

“Dog, I gotta question: what happened to Tha Dogg Pound? I heard they broke up, is that true? That’s what I heard,” Swizz says in his video. Flavor Flav and Choppa’s questions were almost identical, and have led to plenty of speculation among fans. “Sounds like a new single is coming out produced by Swizz,” one user suspects. Another simply writes, “Something’s brewing.”

Swizz Beatz, Flavor Flav, And NLE Choppa Are Curious What Happened To Tha Dogg Pound

At the time of writing, it remains unclear exactly what the artists have planned, but it’s safe to say that fans can’t wait. Daz himself also teased a possible Tha Dogg Pound comeback earlier this month, though he’s said little about it since, keeping fans on their toes. “AINT NUTHIN LIKE FAMILY CUZZN SO ALL U HATERS DPGC IS BAC,” he captioned a photo of him and Snoop Dogg, leaving their followers to speculate.

While some are convinced that a reunion is imminent, others are worried this could just be another trick, a la the smokeless grill debacle.

Daz Dillinger Announces “Dogg Pound 2”

by

Daz Dillinger has Dogg Pound fans in a frenzy with the announcement of their new album. Dillinger took to Instagram to reveal the cover art for the follow-up to the group’s smash hit debut Dogg Food. Furthermore, the long-awaited sequel to the duo’s 1995 debut will be via Dogg Pound Records and produced fully by Dillinger. In his post, the caption reads, “NEW ALBUM COMING SOON @officialkurupt @dazdillinger ON DOGG POUND RECORDS PRODUCED BY @dazdillinger.”

Since the release of their debut, the duo continued to put out more albums, but never put out a sequel, until now. Only two decades later, the rap duo decided to put out a follow-up tape to their hit record. Dogg Food debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in 1995 and sold over 200,000 copies in its first week. Hit singles like “Let’s Play House,” and “New York, New York” featuring Snoop Dogg helped lead the effort. Not only that, it was reportedly the last album “officially” produced under the G-funk era of Hip-Hop, soon before Death Row pivoted to a new sound shortly after.

Daz Dillinger Announces New Dogg Pound Album

The Dogg Pound, comprised of Daz Dillinger and Kurupt, went on to make numerous works after the release of their debut. The duo was signed to Death Row Records in their early days. However, the pair eventually split ties with the label. Since the announcement, fans are already clamoring in the comments section expecting a bonafide classic. One would think that since it’s been so long, we would never get a sequel to such a classic. Glad to see Daz Dillinger proving all of us wrong.

Moreover, it’ll be interesting to see what new sounds Dillinger will bring to the table. He made it glaringly clear that he is producing this record top to bottom, and I’m here for it. Usually, when we get an album of any caliber that’s self-produced by the artist that’s also RAPPING on the album, it’s guaranteed heat. While the legendary rap pair has the catalog to back it up, some fear that the ship might’ve sailed for this album. However, there’s no time like the present, so why not? Who’s ready for this album to drop? Will you be listening? Let the HNHH staff know below!
