Snoop Dogg

Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr, better known as Snoop Dogg, is an American rapper, producer and actor. Snoop Dogg began his career in 1992 after meeting DJ and producer Dr. Dre. Snoop is best known as an MC in the west coast hip-hop scene and one of Dr. Dre’s protégés. Snoop Dogg is a musician, producer, and actor who rose to fame in the late 90s thanks to his debut album and trouble with the police. In his youth, Snoop regularly went to jail. Today he is a world-famous rap singer, a successful businessman and an exemplary family man.

An influential producer listened to the demo tape, and then took Calvin under his tutelage. In 1994, the first album was released. That’s when the guy with a criminal past gained popularity. The Chronic is a joint work of Kelvin Broadus and Dr. Dre. The record includes songs in the genre of the so-called gangster funk – a musical trend in the development of which Snoop Dogg played a leading role. The composition Gin & Juice from the debut album has become a hip-hop classic.

Now the musician continues to engage in creative work. In 2021, the rapper released his 18th studio album From Tha Streets 2 Tha Suites, which included 10 tracks, almost all of them recorded in collaboration with ProHoeZak, Mozzy, Kokane, Larry June and others. Snoop Dogg announced the record along with a video for the single Roaches in My Ashtray.
