G-Funk Classics, Vol. 1 & 2 is the debut studio album by American singer and rapper Nate Dogg. The album was originally to be released through Death Row Records in January 1997, but the album was shelved due to legal problems at Death Row Records, and he wasn't able to release it until the summer of 1998. By that time, the popularity of West Coast hip hop had greatly diminished and the album only managed to make it to number 58 on the Billboard 200 and number 20 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. The album did produce four singles with two top 40 singles, however, "Never Leave Me Alone", which was released on October 22, 1996 through Death Row Records and peaked at number 33 on the Billboard Hot 100.
