In other news, producer and Los Angeles based artist Damizza has informed DubCNN.com that Nate Dogg’s health has improved in recent months. The West Coast veteran suffered a stroke in 2007 and another one in 2008, both of which left him relegated to a wheelchair and partially paralyzed in the face. According to Damizza, Nate Dogg has been recovering and asking to listen to his old music.
Damizza also shared an address that fans can send letters to in support of the singer:
Nathaniel Hale
8306 Wilshire Blvd #484
Beverly Hills, CA 90211
Because Nate Dogg’s mother will be reading the letters to him, Damizza has asked that fans keep the letters clean out of respect. HipHopDX will continue to give updates on this story.
