Singer Nate Dogg, real name Nathaniel Hale, has suffered a 2nd stroke. Just 10 months ago the singer suffered his 1st stroke and was thought to be recovering. According to published reports, Hale is unable to breathe on his own and is listed in serious condition. The first stroke left Hale paralyzed on the left side of his body. He had been in the news much this year after several domestic disputes with his estranged wife.

Things got worse on June 23, 2008 when he was arrested by California Highway Patrol. That evening Hale was involved in a chase with his wife who claimed that he threatened her life. He was charged with making terrorist threats and driving with a suspended license. He was also sent to a facility for medical supervision. Hale rose to fame in the 90’s as part of the Death Row Records roster that ruled the Hip Hop world for years. He was featured singing the choruses on some of the labels biggest hits by artists like 2Pac and Snoop. His services began to be in greater demand after the success of Death Row artists and Hale became the go to guy for many Rap artists who wanted that soulful sound.
