Former Death Row Records signee, Daz Dillinger, has stories for days when it comes to the peak of his career. In this exclusive clip, the rapper/producer takes us back to “The Chronic” days, and how he got a chance to be a part of one of the biggest hip-hop albums of all time. “I was just happy to be in the vicinity as a young entrepreneur,” Daz remembers of his early days working with Dr. Dre. The Long Beach native was only 15 when he began cutting tracks and penning lyrics for the legendary collective, which he says was “the best time” of his life. “I was just listening like, ‘damn, this s*** sound good,’” he tells us. “The Chronic” came out nearly two years later, when Dillinger – formerly known as Dat N**** Daz – was just 17 years old.

Now that an official cover art and tracklist are in place for Jay Rock’s next album, “90059“, the only question left is, when do we finally get to listen? TDE’s CEO and founder Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith just drummed up some more anticipation about the record with news that the release date is now up to the fans, kind of. Tiffith took to Instagram earlier today and announced a personal goal for the album’s preorders as a part of a perfectly vague marketing push. “You guys are really in charge of this new Jay Rock release,” Top Dawg writes. “I have realistic goals for #90059 and its preorder.
