Warren G, born Warren Griffin III on November 10, 1970, in Long Beach, California, is an esteemed rapper, record producer, and DJ known for his influential role in shaping the G-funk sound that dominated the West Coast hip-hop scene in the early 1990s. He first shot to fame with his debut album "Regulate... G Funk Era" released in 1994, which included the hit single "Regulate," a duet with the late Nate Dogg that sampled Michael McDonald's "I Keep Forgettin'." The track catapulted Warren G into the spotlight and has since become an enduring classic in hip hop, emblematic of the laid-back, melodic style that would become his trademark.

Throughout his career, Warren G has continued to embody the smooth, West Coast vibe through both his solo work and collaborations with some of the genre's biggest names. With a discography that spans over two decades, Warren G has not only maintained relevance but has also continued to innovate within the genre. His most recent releases include the nostalgic “Regulate (Duomo Remix)” that reimagines the '90s hit for modern listeners, and "My House (feat. Nate Dogg)" which serves as an homage to his lifelong friend and frequent collaborator. Warren G's influence can also be felt in mellow beats of "lofi chill vibes with Warren G (deluxe)," where he melds his signature sounds with contemporary lo-fi aesthetics to create an inviting and relaxed soundscape for a new generation of listeners.
