“Cali Diseaz (Muzik)” by Shade Sheist & Nate Dogg

Nate Dogg died of a stroke yesterday. Nate Dogg helped to create the “West Coast sound” just as much as Warren G and Snoop Dogg. When everyone else was doing gangsta rap, they weren’t afraid to pay homage to the soulful, fun music they grew up on and loved.

This is my favorite Nate Dogg song. Even though he was known more for singing the hook than his own songs, I only listen to this song for his voice. So mellow and cool.
