Tha Dogg Pound 100 Wayz

The duo of Kurupt and Daz Dillinger, also known as Tha Dogg Pound, originally planned on dropping their eighth studio album, 100 Wayz, in 2007 following the release of the modestly received Dogg Chit. But label issues ensued with Koch Records and the LP was put on hold while they dropped That Was Then, This Is Now. After leaving Koch, the Snoop Dogg affiliates announced 100 Wayz's release was back on schedule with help from Snoop's Doggystyle Records. And the West Coast duo, which recorded this album in a two-year span, sought the help of hip-hop's finest producers as Pete Rock, Denaun Porter, Hi-Tek, and DJ Quik all appear on here.
