Clover Hope, N.Y.
Rapper/producer Daz Dillinger, one-half of Tha Dogg Pound, will on Aug. 1 release his So So Def/Virgin debut "So So Gangsta." The set features appearances from Jagged Edge, Johnta Austin, Kurupt and Rick Ross, as well as production by Jermaine Dupri, Scott Storch and No ID.

Dupri also served as executive producer of the album. The first single is "On Some Real S***" featuring Rick Ross. "It's music that goes all the way around, that appeals to everyone," says Daz of the new offering. "We hit everything."

"So So Gangsta" will be the follow-up to Daz' 2000 sophomore disc "R.A.W.," which was released through his indie label Dogg Pound Records. In 2003, Daz signed to Dupri's So So Def/Jive imprint. Dupri relocated So So Def to Virgin last January when he was named president of urban music at the label.

"They can take me to that next plateau and I can take them to that next plateau as far as the West Coast," says Daz. "The fans just want to hear that Dogg Pound sound, and JD knows it."

Daz and partner Kurupt released their first album "Dogg Food" (Death Row) in 1995 as Tha Dogg Pound. The duo's new album with Snoop Dogg, "Cali Iz Active," is due June 27 via Doggy Style label/Koch. The group is touring with Ice Cube through June.

ya know... mutahfuckaz been livin under rocks or somethin... or on rocks... lol one or the other

Yeah, but at least there's some good news here. At least, they went ahead and made "On Some Real Shit" the first single - way more 'single' potential than "It's My Thang". I bet that it will become "On Some Real Spit", for the radio!

And the delay could be a good thing, if you think about it. It gives So So Def more time to promote the album (shows that they may actually care) and the Dogg Pound album, and Kurupt solo, some time to breathe before Daz's record hits.

I'm REAL glad they're going with that Rick Ross track...

I'm wondering how they're gonna make a radio version tho?

On some Realness?
On some Real spit?

[LAZY]

i think this will be a real good cd... to me All I Need is already a classic and On SOme Real Shit bumps!.. i bet theyll just bleep it out or make it on sum real ish

All of Daz's other albums were independant releases, but his SoSoDef release will be his second official release.
