They grew up together, entered the industry together, regulated the game together and won over the fansﾒ heart together. Warren G and the late Nate Dogg were a combination that was one of a kind, that will never be duplicated, and as they said it on one of their most memorable hits: ﾄNobody does it betterﾓ.
Since the tragic passing of Nathanial ﾄNate Doggﾓ Hale in March, the music world is heartbroken, knowing that the void created by the loss of one of Hip-Hopﾒs most soulful voices will never be filled again.
Warren G, while mourning the death of his close friend, took it to the studio and let the pen capture some of the emotions he was and still is feeling every day.
On ﾄThis Is Dedicated To Youﾓ, which will be dropping very soon, Warren, with the help of the incredible LaToiya Williams, shares his love for Nate Dogg with his fans. He takes us on a ride, from the good times making music together, to the difficult times after Nateﾒs strokes, all the way to losing him and singers imitating his style.
Warrenﾒs frustration and desperation becomes clear with lines such: ﾄRegulatinﾒ the era, standing side by side and we down for whatever / thatﾒs the days of the past now Iﾒm looking at the future like f-ck, I donﾒt even wanna do music!ﾓ
He also opens up on the hard times, seeing his brother in rehab: ﾄLife is such a trip, I know the world is full of madness / Relearning how to walk and talk again, I canﾒt imagine.ﾓ
Lastly, Warren takes a shot at artists trying to come out sounding like or imitating Nateﾒs style: ﾄWhat the hell is going on? N-ggas been biting songs, hell nah that ainﾒt Nate Dogg!ﾓ
ﾄThis Is Dedicated To Youﾓ will be released digitally very soon. We would like to urge everybody not to bootleg the song and to support Warren G and the late, great Nate Dogg.
