Soopafly is a producer/rapper from Long Beach, California. His real name is Priest Joseph Brooks. Though a rather prominent member of Tha Dogg Pound in later days, he got his start as a professional artist somewhat later than many other members like Snoop Dogg, Kurupt, RBX or Warren G. He was not signed to Death Row initially and released the "I Don't Hang" single in early 1996 for the soundtrack to Martin Lawrence's Thin Line Between Love & Hate motion picture. <a href="https://www.last.fm/mus
