Retaliation, Revenge & Get Back is the debut album of Dogg Pound member Daz Dillinger. Daz Dillinger was one of the last artist on Death Row after it's collapse in 1996, after the death of 2Pac. Daz was the head of Death Row while Suge Knight was imprisoned for racketeering. The album peaked at number 8 on the Billboard 200 on April 18 with a solid 84,000[1] of first week retails. Daz soon left after the failure of this album to form his own record company, D.P.G. Recordz.

Retaliation, Revenge & Get Back was also the last Death Row album to feature any kind of G-funk production, the style that Dr. Dre had developed which initially made Death Row famous. Since Daz was one of the last practitioners of the production style and largely moved on to different techniques after this album, this could be considered the last hallmark of the musical trend.

It was certified gold.
