After holding down chorus duties on Dr. Dre's The Chronic album in 1992, Nate Dogg became hip-hop's most beloved hook singer. With his funky baritone voice, the Long Beach native brought a harmonic touch to G-funk anthems by Snoop, Warren G and 2Pac, while also assisting 50 Cent and Ludacris with crossover hits. Despite dropping a series of solo albums that showcased his ability to hold his own, Nate's legacy is based on his rich run of collaborations. He passed away in 2011 as a gangsta rap legend.
