Pleezbaleevit! is the only studio album by American hip hop trio Doggy's Angels. It was released in 2000 through Doggy Style/TVT Records. Recording sessions took place at Dogghouse Recording Studios. Production was handled by DJ Battlecat, Fredwreck, Meech Wells, D. Black, Jelly Roll and Mark In The Dark, with Snoop Dogg serving as executive producer. It features guest appearances from Tha Eastsidaz, Kokane, LaToiya Williams, King Lou, Layzie Bone, Mac Minister, Morticia, Nate Dogg, Ruff Dogg, Soopafly and Suga Free.
The album debuted at No. 138 on the Billboard 200 and No. 35 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts in the United States. Its secong single, "Baby If You're Ready", reached No. 28 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, No. 2 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles Sales and topped the Hot Rap Songs chart.
The release of the album led to a lawsuit by Columbia Pictures, claiming infringement of the Charlie's Angels franchise.[3] The label responded by withdrawing the cover image and promotional artwork and renaming the band "Tha Angels", but in spite its efforts the group disbanded in 2002 with no further releases.
