Snoop Dogg's Celebrity Relatives May Surprise You

May 2024 · 1 minute read

Rapper and record producer Daz Dillinger (aka Delmar Drew Arnaud) is not only Snoop Dogg's cousin, but he's also somewhat of a colleague. The two have recorded music together on multiple occasions. According to Pitchfork, Daz's record label even released an album with Snoop titled ... wait for it ... Cuzznz. 

Daz may also have Snoop to thank for some of his music biz success. On an episode of the HipHopDX series Crook's Corner, Snoop said he wrote some music specifically for Daz and pushed hard for Dr. Dre to include his cuz on The Chronic — considered by many to be "the most influential rap work ever made." 

"Daz first song he was on, "Deez Nuts," I wrote that whole song 'cuz I wanted him on the song 'cuz I liked his voice," Snoop recalled. Dre took some convincing, but after hearing Daz rap the now-classic "chiggy-check" verse, the producer came around. As Snoop tells it: "Dre was like 'Oh, that's hard!'" After that, Daz was in, and he reportedly got right to work making great music.
