About this item

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"

All dimensions are approximate.


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.

TRuEST™ Authentication

The Realest™ empowers partners in sports, music, and film with the industry's most advanced authentication and marketplace technology.


As forgeries grow more sophisticated with deepfakes and other emerging threats, protecting the integrity of physical memorabilia has never been more critical. Traditional authentication standards carry significant risk, but The Realest™ takes a proactive approach, partnering directly with teams, artists, and studios to source items at the origin.


Our multi-layered, witness-based authentication process (TRuEST™) sets a new industry standard and comes backed by a money-back guarantee. TRuEST™ replaces old-school certificates of authenticity with immutable provenance stored on the blockchain, clearly showing population data, creation dates, and key item details. This information cannot be altered, backdated, or hacked and remains accessible at all times. Each item is uniquely fingerprinted using our patent-pending covert markings and tamper-resistant OVD holograms.


These security measures ensure The Realest™ can verify authenticity with absolute certainty, now and in the future, while detecting any attempts to alter or counterfeit items using undisclosed, cutting-edge security methods.
