Lil Nate Dogg signs huge record deal. Hood and associates music label is announcing that as of today (January 6th 2015), they have signed Lil Nate Dogg, 22, son of the late famed rapper Nate Dogg (Regulate, Next Episode, Aint No Fun). Hood and Associates specializes in EDM/Alternative/Rap music genres and feel their new artist will become an overnight sensation. The label considers him to be the Floyd Mayweather of music as both parents coached each of them from a very young age. Lil Nate Dogg's Project will fuse rap and Edm into a double genre Project (part EDM and part rap). The Project is set to be recorded at Park Style Records in San Francisco, California by producer Pro (aka Da Pro), Alvin Taylor (Elton John, Little Richard, Fleetwood Mac), Randolph, Rapper and Producer Ditch. Lil Nate Dogg has worked with the company on several occasions since August 2015, when he recorded a song called “Alternate State” with label artist Frequency. The project is aimed to poise Lil Nate Dogg to perform on both EDM music festivals, Hip Hop festivals and every type of festival in between. “We at Hood and Associates want our artists to be on the massive stages with the massive crowds, EDM is the future and that is the direction our label is heading in 2016” Says Randolph, CEO of the boutique music label, which was founded in Fall of 2014. Final Project mixing was done at Hybrid Studio, in Santa Ana, California by famed engineer Josh. Lil Nate Dogg will also have a few music videos coming out from the Company directed and edited by Matt Heckman.
