The group made several appearances on Dr. Dre’s and Kurupt’s songs but soon disbanded after Nate Dogg and Snoop Dogg signed a record deal with Death Row Records.Warren G then had a fairly successful career as a solo artist and was featured on collaborations with MC Breed and Tupac Shakur, and one of his songs entitled “Indo Smoke” even appeared on the soundtrack of the “Poetic Justice” film with Janet Jackson and Tupac Shakur. Warren G’s impressive lyrics then gained him a spot Dr. Dre’s album “The Chronic”; these projects all contributed to his growing net worth.
Warren G soon earned public recognition as a solo artist as well, when he released a duet song with Nate Dogg called “Regulate”. The song was followed by his debut studio album entitled “Regulate… G Funk Ear” in 1994 that soared to #2 on the US Billboard charts and sold 176,000 copies during its first week. The album sold a total of four million copies worldwide and soon went triple platinum. Needless to say that Warren G’s fame, as well as his net worth, was at its peak during this time.

The third album, that featured guest appearances from Snoop Dogg, Kurupt, Mack 10 and Eve, was certified platinum in the United States. Before releasing “I Want It All”, Warren G was signed to an independent record label, “Restless Records”. His net worth continued to grow.
Even though none of his released albums shared similar success to his debut work, Warren G continued to record music and in 2004 released “The Hard Way” that was followed by “In the Mid-Nite Hour”. Warren G’s latest studio album was released in 2009 under the title of “The G Files” and featured such artists as Travis Barker, Snoop Dogg and Cassi Davis.
