Snoop Dogg BIO
Possessing one of the most intoxicating voices of all time, Snoop Dogg firmly belongs on the Mount Rushmore of West Coast Hip Hop. After announcing himself to the world on Dr. Dre’s 1992 blockbuster album ‘The Chronic,’ Snoop released his own classic debut LP the following year with ‘Doggystyle,’ which was the fastest-selling rap album at the time and further solidified Death Row Records as a Hip Hop powerhouse. From his partnerships with Master P’s No Limit Records and The Neptunes to his pimp, reggae and gospel phases, Tha Doggfather has continually reinvented himself and maintained longevity without losing his street credibility — or that silky-smooth flow.
