Tha Eastsidaz was a West Coast hip-hop trio that emerged from the Long Beach music scene, coming into the spotlight in the late 1990s. The group was formed by one of the most recognizable figures in rap, Snoop Dogg, and included fellow rappers Tray Deee and Goldie Loc. Their sound was a distinct blend of G-funk and gangsta rap, imbued with the street-savvy storytelling typical of West Coast hip-hop.

The group broke onto the scene with their self-titled album "Snoop Dogg Presents Tha Eastsidaz," released in 2000, which received critical acclaim and commercial success. The album featured hits like "G'd Up," which became an anthem for West Coast rap aficionados. Following the success of their debut, they released "Duces 'N Trayz: The Old Fashioned Way" in 2001. This album further solidified their status in the rap game with tracks that showcased their gritty lyrical prowess and solid beats. Despite experiencing internal conflicts and issues with the law that led to an eventual disbandment, Tha Eastsidaz left a lasting impact on hip-hop with their raw energy and authentic representation of the West Coast lifestyle.
