Snoop Doggy Dogg's colleague Daz, who is half of the Dogg Pound, gets help from Tupac Shakur and others on his debut solo album which arrives next month.

Daz, who now goes by the name of Daz Dillinger, went platinum with Tha Dogg Pound in 1995, and has produced tracks for Snoop and Shakur.

Tupac turns up on the album, under the name Makaveli, on a track called "Initiated". Daz also gets help from Tupac's proteges the Outlawz and Daz's Dogg Pound partner Kurupt.

The album, called "Retaliation, Revenge, And Get back," will hit stores in Mid-March on Death Row Records.
