Dillinger, Kurupt and Arnold White are looking for new members of the DPGC and have announced a contest to find them.

Following in the same vein as the highly successful American Idol series, The Dogg Pound Gangsta Crip Artist Idol will begin November 1st and run until February 1st 2006.

"This is a very fun contest," explained Arnold White. "We'll announce the winners on DPG TV and the four final contestants will get the opportunity to battle it out right on television while Daz, Kurupt and I judge their performance. It will definitely be a DPGC Idol."

Artists are urged to submit music relevant to the DPGC style and take into account the judges backgrounds and current music range.

Artist interested in the contest should mail music, bio, photo and contact information to:

The winner will get to go on tour with Daz and Kurupt, a will also receive record label deal, with production from Mr. Dillinger.

Runner ups will appear on the DPGC television show.

The announcement also comes on the heels of the new collaborative effort between Daz and Kurupt, which Daz felt was perfect timing to launch the contest.

"I think that with this group reunion we need to celebrate it by adding on additional members to the group," said Daz. "We need to spice it up a bit."
