As one half of Los Angeles-based duo Tha Dogg Pound, Daz made a name for himself with guest turns on Dr. Dre's G-funk classic The Chronic and Snoop Dogg's Doggystyle. Turning himself into a key player in the scene, Daz's funkafied beats held down West Coast anthems from 2Pac, Mack 10, and The Lady of Rage through the '90s.
