Long Beach rapper Tray Deee of Tha Eastsidaz sat down with VladTV to discuss how he met Snoop Dogg, saying they were introduced by a mutual friend, C-Style, at a club in their hometown. After hearing him spit, both Snoop and Kurupt wanted to work with him, but he was skeptical of the proposal as he was just released from jail and thought these two big celebrities were simply selling dreams. Eventually, C-Style convinced him Snoop was serious and they linked up.

Tray also spoke on his several gun charges, the creation of Tha Eastsidaz's debut album, and the contractual disagreements that almost led to violence. Peep the clip above.
