Nate Dogg (born Nathaniel Dawayne Hale in 1969), is an American hip-hop artist born in Long Beach, California. He began singing as a child in the New Hope Trinity Baptist Church choir where his father — Daniel Lee Hale — was pastor. At the age of 16 he dropped out of high school in Long Beach, California and left home to join the United States Marine Corps where he served for three years before being dishonorably discharged. In 1991 Nate Dogg, his cousin Snoop Dogg, and their friend Warren G formed a rap trio called 213 in Long Beach, California, who weren't to release an album until 2004.
