History
On July 6, 1995, Doggy Style Records, Inc. was registered with the California Secretary of State as business entity number C1923139.[1] After Snoop Dogg was acquitted of murder charges on February 20, 1996, he, his wife, their son and their kennel of 20 pit bulls moved into a 5,000-square-foot (460 m2) home in the hills of Claremont, California and by August 1996, Doggy Style Records, a subsidiary of Death Row Records, signed The Gap Band's Charlie Wilson as one of the record label's first artists.[2] Snoop Dogg's home office at the Claremont mansion served as the headquarters for Dogghouse Records.[3]
On July 31, 2001, Tha Eastsidaz released their second studio album, Duces 'N Trayz: The Old Fashioned Way, through TVT and Doggy Style. It featured production from Dogghouse producer Fredwreck. The album was certified Gold by the RIAA for selling over 500,000 copies in America.
