Daz Dillinger Seeks Clarity Regarding Death Row’s Past on “Retaliation, Revenge & Get Back 3” (Album Review)

Posted by on

Long Beach, California rapper, producer & songwriter Daz Dillinger releasing his 22nd solo LP. Some of his cousins include Brandy & her brother Ray J, WWE Hall of Famer Snoop Dogg & the current AEW tbs Champion, CMLL Mundial Femenil Campeon and RPW British Women’s Champion Mercedes Moné. He eventually signed to Death Row Records & became an original in-house producer under the guidance of its co-founder Dr. Dre, forming Tha Dogg Pound with Kurupt not too long afterwards. Daz finally made his solo debut on ‘98 by putting out Retaliation, Revenge & Get Back on Death Row until departing rather quickly to put out 20 more LPs of his own with almost 3 decades of experience in the game. Retaliation, Revenge & Get Back 2 took it back to the essence of his debut earlier this summer & is looking to recapture that feeling once more.

“It’s Automatic” starts with a hybrid between trap, rap rock & gangsta rap talking about staying strapped wherever he goes whereas “We Shoot Bacc” continues to portray the gangsta lifestyle assuring he’ll ship the bullets right back to it’s original sender. “Initiation” welcomes all to a battlefield where loyalty is law & love is weakness prior to “B4 I Let Go” throws it back to the g-funk era talking about having the west behind him.

The gospel direction of “Better Get It Right” suits the theme of having to keep one’s composure & offering a slice of a man who’s lost it all while “Glock 19z & Caskets” gives off a vintage west coast vibe talking about keeping his Glock on him until he gets buried 6 feet day. “It’s a Murder Rap” finds himself ready to go complete 187 on the whole rap game leading into “Kidnap, Robbery & Homicide” breaking down criminal activity over a g-funk instrumental.

“I Can’t Fucc wit U” begins the 2nd half of the album with a shot at all these suckas who did it for the paper having the nerve of snitching on each other while “What U Really Want” talking about the people asking for something not getting shit outta him. “Get Money on a Bad Day” optimistically speaks of making a paycheck regardless of how his day’s going while “In My 64” serves as an ode to his impala.

The song “Fucc Y’all” packs up Retaliation, Revenge & Get Back 3’s final leg with him giving a middle finger to the haters who don’t want him to shine & after the Beefy Loc skit, “We Gangsta” properly finishes up the RR&GB trilogy with a g-funk/gangsta rap outro talking making causing static on every block because of the environment he came from where the shots were always ringing loud.

Contrary to the reports a couple weeks ago claiming Daz Dillinger had fallen out with Snoop Dogg & that this was gonna be a whole project dissing him, he has since confirmed a couple days ago that isn’t the case & clarified his issues lie more with Death Row Records’ past when Suge Knight was at the helm of things & his own complicated history with the label instead of Snoop himself. Retaliation, Revenge & Get Back 3 feels more aggressive than Retaliation, Revenge & Get Back 2 was a few months earlier with the exception of him looking for closure instead of conflict.

Score: 8/10
