Debut Album to be Released Worldwide by TVT Records on July 20th, 2004
TVT Records has announced the worldwide signing of hip-hop supergroup 213, featuring acclaimed hip-hop artists Snoop Dogg, Nate Dogg and Warren G. 213's debut album, The Hard Way, will be released on TVT Records on July 20th, 2004. A decade-plus in the making, the group's highly anticipated first full length album release The Hard Way is set to rock the hip-hop world with the unprecedented combination of these three talented hip-hop stars.
Named after the area code of Long Beach, CA, the city in which all members of the group grew up, Snoop Dogg, Nate Dogg and Warren G originally formed 213 as teenagers in Los Angeles before breaking off to have renowned and record breaking solo careers. Upon splintering in the late 80's, they made a pact that, if they all succeeded as solo artists, they would return to their roots and pick up 213 where they left off. After a couple of stints attempting a reunion, most notably on the track "Ain't No Fun" on Snoop Dogg's critically-acclaimed album Doggystyle, it was not until the three combined forces again for a song off Warren G's 2001 release Return to the Regulator, that they were able to make 213's reunion official.
Before completing work on The Hard Way, 213's bootleg track, entitled "So Fly," exploded on to airwaves all over their hometown of Los Angeles. The track featured the instrumentation of Monica's "So Gone" and became the #1 song on Power 106 in Los Angeles, in addition to receiving heavy rotation on The Beat. The tremendous success of the song highlighted the excitement surrounding this trio's return, dominating the West Coast's top urban radio stations.
As the buzz on this highly anticipated record and reunion continues to build, the album's first official single, "Groupy Luv" is starting to bubble up on radio station playlists nationwide.

-
groupie luv? sounds like a song that would fit there personas i just hope its better than dolla bill, cause at least that was westcoat and pretty gangsta
-

Word, Dolla Bill was pretty tight, but not single material.
Thanks for the news HB.
-
good news...hopefully true
-
yeh, glad they changed the single, coz if they released "dola bill" as the debut single,.. the album would of flopped, coz the single aint single quality. even tho the track is coo,.. it definately cant get any commercial success.
hopefully this "groupie luv" track will be a hit on the radio
-
oh hell yeah finally ;D :o
-
should've dropped 10 years ago. so many fans been waitin for this for so long that it's simply impossible not to disappoint many, no matter what the album will be like. still I think it's dope news cause we finally gettin a 213 album, but i do not expect this to be classic
-
def good newsthey finally gonna do this thang, they just better have some heaters on the list.......and good to see they chanegd the 1st single, solid joint but it wouldnt have sold anything if they released it
-
I allways thought 213 could only have two types of lead single for the album,either:
- a joint about bitches and hoes,or
- a 'Still D-R-E' like track
'Dolla Bill' was neither but,judging from the title, 'Groupie Love' seems to be of the first type.
-
I couldn't give 2 shits about this whack album.
