The Hard Way is the only studio album from American hip hop trio 213, which consisted of Snoop Dogg, Warren G and Nate Dogg.
 The reunion of the group first appeared as 213 in Warren G's "The Return of the Regulator" in the track "Yo' Sassy Ways".
 In 2003, Snoop Dogg, released his series of mixtapes, from which the second compilation "Welcome to tha chuuch, Vol.
 2" included the first version of "So Fly", which is a parody of the then chart-running hit single by Monica, So Gone.
 Missy Elliott, a co-producer of the song (with Spike & Jamahl), got to hear the tape and was very impressed by it.
 She agreed with Snoop to cede the right of the sample for the upcoming 213 project in exchange for their rapping on Tamia's "Can't Go for That" remix.
 In the end it came out to be the first unofficial radio single of "The Hard Way" and was performed live at BET's 106 & Park.
 The album version differs from the mixtape version in a way that it is five seconds shorter and misses Snoop's intro where he gives the shootouts "Welcome to tha chuuch Vol.
 2...exclusive 213".
 The official debut retail single was "Groupie Luv", which was also accompanied by a promo video.
 It was directed by Chris Robinson and was filmed in Snoop Dogg's own house (see also Still a G Thang).
 It is also the video debut for dancer Criscilla Crossland.
"Lay Low" is the second single from Snoop Dogg's fifth studio album "Tha Last Meal", released in 2000.

 The song received moderate airplay and was featured on Snoop Dogg's Greatest Hits.
 The video features cameo appearances from Tha Dogg Pound's Kurupt and Soopafly.
 It was also directed by Hype Williams.
 The concept of the video has a mafia-like approach.
 The song furthered the success of Tha Eastsidaz and would be one of Snoop's final singles for No Limit Records.

Meech Wells (born Cecil D. Womack, Jr.) is a music producer from the United States.
 He works primarily on hip hop music, and has produced or co-produced for artists Snoop Dogg and Shaquille O'Neal.
 Wells is also the son of Motown singer Mary Wells and musician/songwriter, Cecil Womack.
 Being the son of Motown legend Mary Wells may have helped jumpstart Meech Wells' career, but the West Coast rap producer quickly proved his talent and eventually aligned himself with Snoop Dogg, another relationship that definitely didn't hurt his career.
 Before being Snoop's producer of choice during the late 1990s and early 2000s, Wells began his career as part of a funk band called Trey Lewd that also featured Tracey Lewis, George Clinton's son; this provided him with the opportunity to work with Clinton himself.
 By 1993, Wells found himself working alongside producer/rapper Def Jef; the two's production on Shaquille O'Neil's "I Got Skillz" (a surprise hit single) won them instant credentials.
 Throughout the mid-'90s, he continued to hone his craft, working on a number of remix projects before eventually being introduced to Snoop through a friend.
 Before long, the two were working together as a potent duo, beginning with "Still a G Thang," one of the better songs on Snoop's Da Game Is to Be Sold, Not to Be Told.
 Wells produced a few No Limit songs featuring Snoop—Tru's "It's a Beautiful Thang," Silkk the Shocker's "Get It Up"—before playing a major role in bringing a West Coast sound to Snoop's Top Dogg album in 1999: "In Love With a Thug," "Better Days," "Gangsta Ride," among others.
 In 2000 he reprised his role as one of Snoop's producers of choice, producing tracks for Tha Eastsidaz' self-titled debut and Doggy's Angels' Pleezbalevit, as well as Snoop's own Tha Last Meal ("Go Away," "Issues").
Plastic Beach is the third studio album by the British virtual band Gorillaz, released on 3 March 2010 by Parlophone Records internationally and by Virgin Records in the United States.
 Conceived from an unfinished Gorillaz project called "Carousel", the album was recorded from June 2008 to November 2009, and was produced primarily by group co-creator Damon Albarn.
 It features guest appearances by several artists including Snoop Dogg, Gruff Rhys, De La Soul, Bobby Womack, Mos Def, Lou Reed, Mick Jones, Mark E. Smith, Paul Simonon, Bashy, Kano, Little Dragon and the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble.
