Tha Dogg Pound has recruited some of the world’s top superstars, including Snoop Dogg and DJ Premier, for their new album W.A.W.G. (We All We Got).
The new album, which will drop later this month, will be released by Gala Records in conjunction with Death Row Records and features the Doggfather alongside the likes of October London for two songs: “Finesse” and “Baggin U Up.”The two songs are available on the Gala Music website, exclusively, and they were released on Tuesday (May 21).

“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 Leila Steinberg, president of Gala Records, in a press release announcing the new album.
“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!”
Snoop purchased Death Row Records in a surprising move last year. Soon after, he welcomed the imprint’s iconic catalog back to streaming.
The Long Beach native caught fans by surprise in early 2023 by announcing that the gangsta-rap label’s discography will return to streaming services.

Death Row’s catalog includes essential ’90s rap releases such as Dr. Dre’sThe Chronic, Snoop Dogg’s Doggystyle and Tha Doggfather, 2Pac’sAll Eyez On Me and The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory, and Tha Dogg Pound’sDogg Food.
Fans can also dive back in to the soundtracks for Above the Rim, Murder Was the Case and Gridlock’d, as well as compilations like Death Row Greatest Hits and Christmas on Death Row.
Appearing on DJ Hed and Chuck Dizzle’s Home Grown Radio podcast this week, Snoop confirmed that he and Daz Dillinger had not been on speaking terms. But upon Snoop’s brother Bing Worthington passing away earlier this year, the guys got right back to it.
“My little brother had passed away, and one thing about my little brother is he loved the fuck outta Daz. He loved us together,” Snoop explained.
He and Daz then got on the phone, beginning a healing process that led to W.A.W.G.
