The West Coast producer and rapper behind 'Regulate' and a steady catalog of relaxed grooves.
For the full picture, start with 'Regulate' and then let something like 'Annie Mae' play. That's the whole vibe right there.
He gave the early '90s West Coast sound one of its most enduring anthems with 'Regulate,' a track that still feels like a summer afternoon. His solo debut 'Regulate.G Funk Era' defined a whole mood with cuts like 'This DJ' and 'Do You See.' Even later songs like 'Back Up' and 'Annie Mae' kept that same easy-rolling lane alive.
He came up in Long Beach, linked to Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre, and his verse landed on Snoop's 'Gin and Juice.' His 1994 debut set the template, and he kept putting out albums like 'Take a Look Over Your Shoulder' and 'The Game' for years after. The sound never really left that G-Funk pocket, even as hip-hop changed.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
