10 Shocking facts about Snoop Dogg (With Pictures)

4. His Cousin is Daz from the Dogg Pound

These days, the West Coast is enjoying a really great run in the Hip-Hop game. The coast on the left is bubbling with talent like Kendrick Lamar, The Game, Schoolboy Q and more. But back in the early ’90s, it was a totally different scene all together. Snoop Dogg and a few others were the only rappers making noise and selling records.

One of the other successful West Coast crews from that era was the Death Row Records affiliated duo, Tha Dogg Pound. The group consisted of Daz and Kurupt, and most people don’t know that Daz is actually Snoop Dogg’s first cousin. To this day, Snoop Dogg and Tha Dogg Pound are still tight and make music together.
