Nate Dogg would have celebrated 57 today. RIP 🙏🕊️ Regarded as the quintessential “King of Hooks,” Nate Dogg defined the West Coast G-funk sound by delivering iconic vocal melodies on legendary tracks like “Regulate” with Warren G (1994), Dr. Dre’s “The Next Episode” (2000), Ludacris’s “Area Codes” (2001), 50 Cent’s Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 smash “21 Questions” (2003), and Eminem’s “Shake That” (2006). A four-time Grammy nominee and co-founder of the rap trio 213 alongside Snoop Dogg and Warren G, his smooth baritone hooks earned him 16 Billboard Hot 100 charting singles and cemented him as one of hip-hop’s most sought-after collaborators. #natedogg #snoopdogg #2pac #drdre #50cent
