Description

DAT case from 1996 containing original Digital Audio Tapes tied to Snoop Dogg’s post-Doggystyle studio work. The lot includes 7 DAT cases with handwritten J-cards dated from May through July 1996 — 5 of those cases contain matching DATs, while 2 hold J-cards only, with no tape inside. An eighth loose DAT is included without a case or insert. Notes reference sessions at Larrabee and Can-Am Recorders, with track titles like “Dogg Father,” “Snoop Bounce,” and “Me and My Doggz,” along with tape IDs, mix dates, and sequence tracking. Some paperwork also mentions tracks from missing tapes, including one referencing “Out the Moon w/ Tupac.” The materials reflect internal mixdown, sequencing, and archiving for unreleased or developing content during the Death Row era. All items come from Snoop Dogg’s personal collection.


Dimensions: 11.5" x 9.5" x 1.5"

Disclaimer:

This item features a Silver OVD, and has been directly received from the personal collection of Calvin Broadus, also known as Snoop Dogg, and validated by TRuEST™ Authentication.

A TRuEST™ authenticator was not on-site to witness the creation or labeling of the tapes, which is why this item does not carry our gold-level witness-based authentication OVD.
