Dillinger, like many of his peers, signed record deals with Death Row after being introduced to Dr. Dre by Warren G just as Dre began recording his seminal 1992 album, The Chronic. Dillinger contributed to The Chronic as well as his cousin Snoop Doggy Dogg's multi-platinum Doggystyle , Tupac Shakur's All Eyez on Me and the majority of the label's multi-platinum releases.

He released his first album Dogg Food with Kurupt as Tha Dogg Pound which went multi-platinum continuing Death Row's force as the most successful hiphop label. After Dr. Dre left the label, Daz became Death Row's main producer and was largely involved in Snoop's sophomore album Tha Doggfather and various compilations and soundtracks. After the death of Tupac Shakur, the departures of Snoop Dogg, Kurupt, Nate Dogg and the imprisonment of label CEO Suge Knight, Daz was the only major artist left on Death Row and mainly responsible for the work done in the label. In 1998 he released his solo-offering Retaliation, Revenge and Get Back for the first time using the more commercial-friendly artist name Daz Dillinger and even though the album reached gold status it was considered to be a commercial failure for the still high standards established by Death Row's previous releases.

Around 2000 Daz left the crumbling Death Row records and started his own imprint DPG Recordz. He released his second solo-album 2000's R.A.W. independently. Although the album didn't reach the success of his Death Row releases the album gained cult status in the underground West Coast rap scene. After that, Daz has kept on his business as CEO of his record label and has released several EP's and LP's with his name.

In 2002 Daz and his long time friend Kurupt parted ways because the latter rejoined Death Row and Daz's "arch-enemy" Suge Knight. Since that Daz and Kurupt have each released several dis records aimed at each other.

On April 13, 2005, Daz reunited with Kurupt through the peace meeting labelled "Protect the West", in which several other West Coast rap icons united to put aside their differences in hope of succeeding together.

Daz released an album on Jermaine Dupri's So So Def label titled 'So So Gangsta ' which's was released September 12, 2006

Daz Dillinger Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Diggy Daz about to surface like hot air balloons
Leaves and platoons, hoes and harlots, hoes and Harley's
D-A to the Z, rock with that double-barrel shotty in the gangsta party
I'ma do what I'm 'bout to do, hoe what about you?
And them other two, and them other two
D.P.G.C. vital, liable to smother you (that's right)
Undercover in a bucket like fuck it
What them real niggas got to say to them bitch niggas boy?

This gangsta shit
And I'm a be the first runnin' up, blastin' with the gun tucked
Blastin' the suckas 'til niggas get chipped
I'm a fanatic, somatic, 24-sev fool
Dippin' in a Cutlass, two P's in a bucket
(Yo Daz, homie won't you tell these niggas somethin')
It ain't nothin' but a gangsta party motherfucker!

[Chorus]
Load Up, Load Up
(Load Up)
Load Up, Load Up
(Blast, blast, blast, blast, blast)
Load Up, Load Up
(Load Up)
Load Up, Load Up
(Blast, blast)

Chevy, with a buck-fifty horses for the forces
Breakin' homies and seperatin' like divorces
I'ma show you G, to a T
D-O double G the P-O-U-N to the D
We'll leave you motionless
D.P.G. and me, are the only G's these hoes came to see
Work that thang girl, pop that azz
You are now cultivated by the sounds of Daz
And, all my gangsta niggas keep on smashin' on these bitches
And we hittin', hittin' switches on three in a 'Llac
If you're lookin' for us gangstas, then we in the back
With the all gray and blue on, D.P.G. on the hat
They call me Daz Dilly bitch, loco, more she intact
And at that get your lungs collapsed, perhaps you prefer that
(For my G's gleamin', candy paintin'
ridin', rollin', smashin', dashin'
indo hashin', any get wit me)
I thought I told you that

Load Up, Load Up
(Load Up)
Load Up, Load up
(Blast, blast, blast, blast, blast)
Load Up, Load Up
(Load Up)
Load Up, Load up
(Load Up, Load Up, Load Up, Load Up)

I was about to hit these switches on low-low's
With Dat Nigga Daz, D.P.G. Original
niggas high as a kite
Got the whole world shakin' like a Dogg Pound Gangsta
Shit, yeah yeah

Man, sit, let me spit, a little game to you
Let me introduce my homie to you
You're just a hype, mush me out
Unleash on these hoes
Turn into a motherfuckin' beast on these hoes
Get your head right, game right, aim right
Get everything right, with all your might
Or you might not see daylight, AK might spray your night
The total eclipse at night
The force is fly (high), shootin' out shit that scorch the sky
Stops at the sparks that fly
I'ma forcified, and I'm forced to try
With all my might to get the force to fly
Bigg Snoop, demands we stay on point like Stacey Adams (Dogghouse!)
I'm bumpin' parliament and then Yolanda Adams
I'm just dippin' that's all, I'm just dippin'
D-A to the Z on point and I ain't trippin', c'mon

Load Up, Load Up
(Load Up)
Load Up, Load Up
(Blast, blast, blast, blast, blast)
Load Up, Load Up
(Load Up)
Load Up, Load Up
(Load Up, c'mon)

I was about to hit these switches on low-low's
With Dat Nigga Daz, D.P.G. Original
niggas high as a kite
Got the whole world shakin' like a Dogg Pound Gangsta
Shit, yeah yeah

(Load Up, Load Up)
Get your gat and load up
