Tha Doggfather is the second studio album from Snoop Doggy Dogg, originally released in 1996 and marking a pivotal moment in West Coast hip-hop. Arriving after the departure of Dr. Dre from Death Row Records, the album saw Snoop stepping fully into his role as a leading creative force, expanding his sound while maintaining his unmistakable laid-back flow.

Produced primarily by DJ Pooh, Daz Dillinger and Sam Sneed, Tha Doggfather blends G-funk roots with smoother, funk-driven and more experimental textures. The album features standout tracks such as “Snoop’s Upside Ya Head,” “Vapors,” and “Doggyland,” showcasing Snoop’s lyrical confidence and evolving artistic direction during a turbulent era for the label.

This Vinyl 2LP Reissue presents the album in full across two records, offering a rich, warm playback that suits the album’s deep grooves and low-slung beats. An essential chapter in Snoop’s legendary catalogue, Tha Doggfather remains a vital listen for hip-hop fans and collectors alike.
