After many years of work, Snoop Dogg & Daz Dillinger release a collaborative album under the name Daz-N-Snoop. They are cousins, hence the title. The production is mainly performed by Dâm-funk, together with Rick Rock, DJ 2High, League of Starz, KJ Conteh and Jansport J. The guests are Dâm-funk, Shon'Lawon and above all Kurupt, present in three songs and part of Tha Dogg Pound together with Daz. When the tape comes out, without any promotion, it already sounds old: the music is excessively cheap, simplistic, shoddy, imitates g-funk and mobb without much success, while the dudes' rap is tired, lacking in energy, bland. Snoop Dogg did his best disk in 1993, having largely contributed to Dr. Dre's debut the year before, and Tha Dogg Pound released its best album in 1995. All three acts were under Death Row. It's easy to think that a collaborative project around that time would have been a masterpiece or a huge The Firm-style flop, doing it twenty years later makes almost no sense. No track works except the last one, which closes the tape with a high note. Released by an independent label, the tape records its presence in both the rap and pop charts. 4/10.
