Following their appearances on Dr. Dre’s The Chronic, Snoop Doggy Dogg’s Doggystyle, and Death Row’s soundtracks for Murder Was the Case and Above the Rim, Daz & Kurupt were up next with their debut album, Dogg Food. Aside from a couple of beats done by DJ Pooh, Daz Dillinger produced the remainder of the album, carrying on the G-Funk sound established on Dre and Snoop’s debut albums. This album was embroiled in controversy as Tha Dogg Pound was engaged in multiple beefs at the time, including the East Coast/West Coast feud led by Bad Boy and Death Row, as well as inheriting Dr. Dre’s beef against Eazy-E and Ruthless Records. Their lyrical content was also the target of shareholders in Time Warner—the parent company to Death Row’s distributor Interscope Records—causing the album’s release to be delayed by three months. Dogg Food peaked at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart and achieved double platinum status thanks to their singles “Let’s Play House” with Nate Dogg and Michel'le, and “New York, New York,” which features Snoop on the chorus.
