The world of Hip Hop Rap Music has lost a veteran Rap Icon, Nate Dogg, aged 41. Nate died yesterday after years of battling health problems. Nate Dogg, whose real name is Nathaniel Dwaynne Hale, formed rap group 213 along with close pals Snoop Dogg and Warren G in 1991. Nate Dogg made his debut on The Chronic. Dr Dre discovered and loved his singing style and he was signed on Death Row Records in 1993. Nate Dogg featured on Mista Grimm's 'Indosmoke' with Warren G. Then in 1994 he produced his first hit single 'Regulate' with Warren G. He also featured in many Tupac releases, including his collaboration record Thug Life: Volume I, amongst many other collaborations and solo works.

Nate Dogg suffered a stroke in 2007 and another again in 2008.While he was undergoing physical therapy after treatments, hope remained that he would recover to normality but unfortunately we never got him back...His death is a truly sad loss...May his soul rest in perfect peace.
