Behind The Music Tales is a series which captures the mood and the feel of the energy that surged from music in the 90s and 2000s. It presents exclusive original interviews as an honest record, directly from authentic creative forces, and is a distinct historical document.

The Real 213, the 10th book in the series, presents the friendship of Snoop Dogg, Nate Dogg and Warren G, one of the most enduring legacies in Hip-Hop history. Fearless. Controversial. Outrageous. These interviews with 213 at the intersection of their careers, exposes ironies, rhythms, and prejudices of the music business.

Pointed against the political, economic and cultural backdrop of G-funk, The Real 213 depicts what was to become a key transitional moment in West Coast Rap history. More than six years after the death of Nate Dogg, the distinct style and profound influence of G-funk are indisputable. The pulse has changed. The place stays the same. Chuuch!
