Tha Doggfather

Description

Flow, style, and the soul of the West Coast: Snoop at his peak. Dive into an essential chapter of West Coast rap: the 2LP vinyl reissue of Snoop Doggy Dogg's legendary Tha Doggfather, set for release in December via Vydia / Gamma, rekindles the legacy of a pivotal album. Originally released in 1996, it marks Snoop's transition after the storm: Dr. Dre left Death Row, the label's scene was in upheaval, and the rapper, freshly acquitted, had to reassert his place. This definitive edition offers remastered sound, pressed on two high-quality vinyl discs, in a gatefold format that respects the aesthetic of the era. It highlights the richness of collaborations with Daz Dillinger, DJ Pooh, Soopafly, and other iconic producers. Tha Doggfather was certified Double Platinum in the United States and debuted at number one on the charts upon its release, with nearly 479,000 copies sold in the first week. More than just a collector's item, this reissue embodies Snoop's artistic resilience: a work rooted in hip-hop history, brought back into the spotlight for enthusiasts and new generations alike.
