Remixed by - Daz Dillinger

Originally produced by - Daz Dillinger, except track 8 by Johnny J. 

All tracks are remixes except 6 and 8. Track 7 is also close to the original but with an added Daz verse.

Tracks 3,4,6,11,12 were recorded for Thug Pound

Track 8 was recorded for Gridlock'd Original Soundtrack

Tracks 2,7,9 were recorded for Outlawz LP : Troublesome, The Secretz of War

Track 5 was recorded as "Jawz Tight" for One Nation and also intended for Outlawz 2nd LP : Ghetto Starz

Track 10 was recorded for Thug Pound or Gridlock'd Original Soundtrack or One Nation part two sessions

Daz was not originally in none of these tracks. His verses have been recorded later (except maybe track 1 that could have been recorded in 96). Most of these songs were his productions so he was free to remix them when he wants during his Death Row times (during Dogg Pound's West Coast Aftershock sessions in summer of 96, for Death Row soundtracks and compilations in 97 or for his own solo album Retaliation, Revenge & Get Back in 98...

But he could have recorded his verses and have remixed songs after he left Death Row in 2000. In track 3, Tanya Herron clearly is a chorist he will work with in 2001 (she's highly featured in Daz This is the Life I Lead album).

The fact he stole these songs to Death Row could indicate he was maybe in charge of remixing them for various projects from the label.

 

DETAILED TRACKLIST :

 

01. Wake Up My People (Intro) / Daz

02. Don't Go 2 Sleep (Daz Remix) feat. Kurupt & Daz / Daz

•  1996/04 - 1996/06 (?). This production is a huge fu**ing bomb ! If they had recorded their verses around 2000, why Kurupt would not be in other remixes especially in "Dumpin'" where he originally was ? Voices and production sound from their Death Row times. After 96, Kurupt was not anymore with Death Row. It leads to think that it could be an original second version from summer of 96 for Dogg Pound's West Coast Aftershock or for One Nation part two sessions.
  

03. First 2 Bomb (Daz Remix) feat. Daz & Tanya Herron (chorus) / Daz

• 1996/01 - 2001. The production and Daz delivery sound more recent that previous track, more in the manner of R.A.W. album, with Tanya Herron being at the chorus in many songs in 2002's album This is the Life I Lead.
  

04. Um Dumpin' (Daz Remix) feat. Daz & Young Assassins / Daz

• 1996/01 - 2001. Probably another track recorded during or after R.A.W. album. It is strange that Daz didn't keep the original Kurupt verse even if there are no official collabs Daz/Kurupt in 2002 in This Life I Lead. Maybe Kurupt was already close again to Suge Knight and Death Row.

05. Let's Fight (Daz Remix) feat. Daz / Daz

• 1996/06 - 2001. The beat is the exact same as the original produced for One Nation sessions in June of 1996. But the song was also announced in Outlawz Ghetto Starz in August so maybe Daz could have recorded his verse at that time.
  

06. First 2 Bomb feat. Napoleon, Kadafi & Edi / Daz

• 1996/01. This is clearly the original recording intended for Thug Pound short lived project. "Outlaw Immortalz" was then the name of the group Thug Life+Dramacydal+FatalNFelony+Storm, who were supposed to release Thug Life Volume 2 before Mopreme left Death Row after arguing with Suge Knight and his friends. This song recorded in mid of January is like an anthem for the group.
  

07. Don't Go 2 Sleep (Original Daz Remix) feat. Edi & Daz / Daz 

• 1996/04 - 2001. Daz verse is a re-recorded from track n°2, with a clearer and more skilled voice, only altering the "don't fuck around with Kurupt, 'Pac and Daz" into " don't fuck around with Daz". Otherwise, this version keeps the original Edi verse and the original beat.
  

08. They Don't Give A Fuck About Us feat. Edi, Kastro, Kadafi & Napoleon / Johnny J (?)

• 1996/04. This is a great mistery : why Daz had this song if it is a Johnny J's song ? Was he in charge of finishing the mix for Gang Related or Gridlock'd soundtracks ?
  

10. Only Move 4 Tha Money feat. Daz & Bad Azz (chorus) / Daz

• 1996/01-06 (?) - 2003. Also known as "Three Words of Enlightment", "Death Row's Finest" and "Muthafuckaz Not Knowin". The song was initially a 2Pac/Snoop Dogg duet. Daz verse has clearly been added later to replace Snoop's one. At the same time, it has been said that this 2Pac's song has been produced on the basis of an old unleaked Dogg Pound demo from 95 with same Bad Azz chorus and Kurupt's verse from "Who Got Some Gangsta Shit".
