Dillinger & Young Gotti II: Tha Saga Continuez... is the third studio album by American gangsta rap group Tha Dogg Pound. It was released on November 1, 2005, via Gangsta Advisory Records.

In the United States, the album debuted at number 66 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, number 23 on the Independent Albums and number 16 on the Heatseekers Albums charts. As of April 2006, according to SoundScan, it has sold over 113,000 copies in the US.

Background

The album serves as a sequel to the duo's 2001 release for D.P.G. Recordz, Dillinger & Young Gotti, marking their second studio album under the 'D.P.G.' name. It also marks a reunion between Daz Dillinger and Kurupt after both members were feuding since the latter re-joined the hostile Death Row label in early 2002. By mid-2005, Snoop Dogg hinted at a reunion of the entire DPGC collective, namedropping Kurupt and Daz among other members. Daz told HipHopDX that the first song they wrote together after the breakup was "Push Bacc".
Following his second departure from Death Row, Kurupt is credited as D. Williams in the album credits. It is believed due to contractual reasons he had to use his younger brother Roscoe's publishing.
