"RIP NATE DOGG."

Heaven just got another Dogg.
Sadly, after years of battling deteriorating health, rapper and LBC native Nate Dogg (whose real name was Nathaniel Hale) passed away at the age of 41.

Nate Dogg was a four-time Grammy nominee and a major participant in the West Coast G-Funk sound, contributing memorable and chart-topping hooks to hits spanning the past two decades, starting with his heavy featuring on Dr. Dre's The Chronic. He went on to add his smooth, laid-back sound to Warren G's "Regulate," Dre and Snoop Dogg"The Next Episode," Ludacris' "Area Codes" and Eminem 's "Shake That." His most recent solo album, Nate Dogg, was released in 2008
