RIP Nate Dogg

The music industry lost another great artist last night when at the age of 41, Nathaniel "Nate Dogg" Hale, Long Beach G-Funk legend passed.  His voice changed the game, featured on some of the greatest west coast rap of all time including hits from Snoop, DJ Quik, Dr. Dre, and many others.  Perhaps his biggest collaboration came on the G-Funk anthem "Regulate".  Find the album that altered my life after the jump.

DJ Steve1der has released a 70 minute tribute mix for Nate:

14 Years Gone

On March 9th, 1997 the hip-hop world lost a great man and the game was changed forever.  His affluence over a beat remains unmatched as his lyrical quality and flow will live on in the music he left behind.  RIP Christopher "Biggie" Wallace.

Crookers Giving Mad Love for Munchi

Moombahton heavy hitter Munchi recently had some major health issues while on tour in Hawaii.  From DJ Ayres:

"As many of you know, Munchi suffered a seizure while on tour in Hawaii two weeks ago.  He was in a coma for 9 hours and in the hospital for 11 days.  The seizure was the result of a intracerebral hemorrhage in the left side of his brain, with no prior history of illness.  He's doing a lot better now, out of the hospital and resting up.  Yesterday we started a fundraiser and raised over $5000, bought Munchi a flight home to Rotterdam and covered the cost of his meds.  Today we're working on getting his hospital bills, which will surely be very high.  If you haven't given yet, please visit this page and do what you can to help:  http://giveloop.com/help-munchi"
