The Hard Way is the only studio album by West Coast hip-hop supergroup 213 consisting of members: Snoop Dogg, Nate Dogg, and Warren G. Released on August 17, 2004 the album included the hit singles “Groupie Luv” and “So Fly.” The album reached #4 in the U.S. on the Billboard 200 charts. Unfortunately, this would prove to be the group’s sole release as member Nate Dogg would suffer multiple strokes in 2007-08, rendering him incapacitated. He would eventually pass away on March 15, 2011, due to complications of multiple strokes effectively ending the group.
