One of the greatest hook-makers has left us. Nate Dogg was pronounced dead tonight the cause has not yet been determined, but it has been mentioned that it possibly has to due with his history of stokes.

After his 1993 signing with Death Row Records Nate took the ’90s by storm with his deep and heavily melodic rhythm. One of his most memorable hits was “Regulate”, which he produced and featured along side his friend Warren G. Before that his first nationwide appearance was on Dr.Dre’s “Chronic” album. It seems like from then on you couldn’t avoid a hearing his voice on every TV and radio station.

My condolences go out to his family and friends.
