Color photo print of West Coast Hip-Hop group 213, Warren G, Nate Dogg and Snoop Dogg backstage at the 2004 BET Comedy Awards.
213 was a rap group composed of Snoop Dogg, Warren G, and Nate Dogg, originating from Long Beach, California. The group's name, 213, represents the area code of Long Beach. Snoop Dogg, Warren G (who is also Snoop's stepbrother), and Nate Dogg (Snoop's close friend) formed 213 in the early 1990s before each of them gained significant solo success in the music industry. Although 213 did not release a full-length studio album, they collaborated on several tracks and projects, showcasing their chemistry and talent together. The group's music embodied the West Coast hip hop sound, characterized by smooth beats, laid-back flows, and melodic hooks. Some notable songs featuring all three members of 213 include "Ain't No Fun (If the Homies Can't Have None)" from Snoop Dogg's debut album "Doggystyle" and "Regulate" from Warren G's debut album "Regulate... G Funk Era." 213's impact on music and culture stems from the individual success of its members and their collective influence on the West Coast rap scene. Their collaboration helped shape the sound of '90s hip hop and contributed to the popularity of G-funk music.
