In this episode, we’re at the SoFi Stadium in LA to witness a Long Beach G-Funk SHOOTOUT between rapper/producers DAZ DILLINGER and WARREN G.

With the 2026 World Cup in full swing, what better what to celebrate than a good old-fashioned hip-hop penalty shootout between two West Coast legends?

On one side is Tha Dogg Pound general, Death Row producer and architect behind some of the hardest West Coast classics. On the other is the smooth-talking Regulator whose laid-back flow, melodic production and Nate Dogg-assisted anthems helped take G-funk global.

From Dogg Food to Regulate… G Funk Era and beyond, we’re putting catalogues, impact, verses, beats and legacy under the spotlight. We’ve picked five tracks from each artist, which are drawn against each other at random and we use the three-main vote to decide who wins each tie.

Like the real World Cup, this podcast has three hosts – Danny, Larry and Steve – who keep the matches moving with insightful, incisive commentary, backed by some of the biggest names in British football.

So who’ll keep their nerve from the spot and plant it top bins? Who’ll shank it into Row Z? Listen to find out!
