Hale — had survived strokes in 2007 and 2008 … and was famous for his smooth vocal collaborations with Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Warren G. and Dr. Dre to name a few. (TMZ)

In 2009, Warren G spoke to SOHH about Nate’s condition and wanting to raise funds for him.

“I’m talking to Snoop [Dogg] to try and do a new 213 album,” G revealed. “And we’d dedicate it to Nate. You know what I’m saying? It’s up to him if he wanna collaborate on it, we can do it. But I’ve been sending it out left and right for him to holler at me about it, we can talk and do it, you know what I’m saying? So it’s nothing, it’s easy.” (SOHH)

Nate’s run in hip-hop dates back to the early 1990’s.

After showcasing his laid-back rapping/singing delivery on Dr. Dre’s classic debut album “The Chronic,” Nate Dogg was featured on Warren G’s 1994 single “Regulate,” which peaked at No. 2 on the Hot 100. The song was the first of a number of hip-hop singles, including Dr. Dre’s “The Next Episode,” Fabolous‘ “Can’t Deny It,” Ludacris‘ “Area Codes” and Eminem’s “Shake That,” to feature a vocal hook from the rapper. Nate Dogg’s most recent solo album, “Nate Dogg,” was released in 2008. (Billboard)
