Doggy Style Records in conjunction with KOCH Records will release gangsta rap posse Tha Dogg Pound's new album, ‘Cali iz Active’ on June 27, 2006.

It was over ten years ago that Tha Dogg Pound laced the music world with their multiplatinum-selling debut album, Dogg Food. With Bigg Snoop Dogg again at the helm along with Daz Dillinger and Kurupt a.k.a. Young Gotti, the bangin'' and much-anticipated new disc CALI IZ ACTIVE is re-energizing the Golden State music movement and galvanizing the West Coast.

“We just came back together and made a classic Dogg Pound gangsta album,” says Daz Dillinger. “Some of the original G sounds with a new twist, new millennium G shit!” adds Kurupt.

This summer, the rap artists of the Tha Dogg Pound will open for legendary gangsta rap artist, hip-hop icon and actor Ice Cube in a national tour which is set to kick off on April 20th in Anaheim, CA and run through June. The West Coast bill is sure to be one of the hottest tickets around.

Besides Daz and Kurupt spittin'' fire on the mic, the new album features Tha Dogg Pound family (Snoop Dogg, RBX, Soopafly, and Bad Azz). Also appearing are hip-hop and rap notables  B-Real, Busta Rhymes, David Banner, Paul Wall and producing legends Battlecat, Fredwreck, The Alchemist, Swizz Beatz, and Jazzy Phae. “A lot of people came together to make this Dogg Pound record the biggest and best it can be, and with Snoop's leadership we can never go wrong,” says Kurupt.
