Directed by 24-year-old Karam Gill and produced by G Funk Productions, Chavez Bros. Productions and Omega Point Films, G Funk explores the origins of “Gangster Funk” and its lasting impact on music and pop culture. The film focuses on the story of producer Warren G, singer Nate Dogg and rapper Snoop Dogg, otherwise known as hip hip trio “213,” who are considered some of the earliest pioneers of the genre.
The documentary also features never-before-seen footage and interviews with Warren G, Snoop Dogg, Chuck D, Ice Cube, Ice T, Too Short, The D.O.C., Wiz Khalifa and more about Warren G’s story and the impact of Gangster Funk on hip hop.
