Tha Eastsidaz was a hip hop group formed in 2000, made up of Snoop Dogg, Tray Deee, and Goldie Loc. After signing on to Snoop's Doggystyle Records, they released their debut album, Snoop Dogg Presents Tha Eastsidaz; the album was a hit and eventually went platinum. They were also featured on "Lay Low," a hit single from Snoop Dogg's Tha Last Meal. The next year, they released their second album, Duces 'n Trayz: The Old Fashioned Way. The album was critically well-received, but only certified gold. The group broke up when Snoop left while making their second album and Tray Deee was being sentenced to 12 years in prison for attempted murder. In 2005, Goldie Loc and Snoop Dogg reunited to form Tha Eastsidaz; they released a new joint album with the IV Life Family. Goldie Loc is also involved in The Warzone, Snoop Dogg's new project.

They were also part of their self-titled direct-to-video crime film, which was a success in retail sales despite the low-budget production thus was certified double platinum[1].
