Snoop Dogg

Snoop Dogg is one of the most recognizable voices in hip-hop, a West Coast icon whose laid-back drawl helped define G-funk. Born Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr. on October 20, 1971, in Long Beach, California, he rose to fame through his work with Dr. Dre.

Doggystyle

After featuring on Dr. Dre’s “Deep Cover” and the landmark album The Chronic, Snoop released his debut Doggystyle (1993). Produced by Dr. Dre, it became the first debut album to enter the chart at number one, powered by “Who Am I (What’s My Name)?” and “Gin and Juice”.

The crossover years

He moved through Death Row and No Limit before reaching new pop audiences in the 2000s. “Drop It Like It’s Hot” (2004) and “Beautiful”, both featuring Pharrell Williams, became two of his biggest hits.

Pop team-ups

Snoop has stayed on the charts through collaborations. “California Gurls” with Katy Perry topped the Hot 100 in 2010, and “Young, Wild & Free” with Wiz Khalifa and Bruno Mars became a summer anthem.

An icon at large

He acquired Death Row Records in 2022, performed at the Super Bowl halftime show that year, and has built a career in film, television and business well beyond music. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest rappers of all time.
