The family of rapper Nate Dogg has told the Long Beach Press-Telegram that the performer died Tuesday at age 41.
No details were immediately available, but the paper said Nate Dogg, whose real name is Nathaniel D. Hale, had suffered two strokes in recent years.
His musical collaborator, rapper Snoop Dogg, posted a note on his Twitteraccount saying: "RIP NATE DOGG."
Rapper Ludacris said on Twitter: "There is a certain void in hip hop's heart that can never be filled. Glad we got to make history together."
Hale was born in Long Beach.
He got his start with Snoop Doggy Dogg and Warren G in a Long Beach-area band called 213. He later recorded with Dr. Dre on "The Chronic" and appeared in Snoop Doggy Dogg's "Doggystyle," according to Times reports.
