About Snoop Dogg
Born in 1971 in Long Beach, Snoop Dogg rose in the early 1990s out of the Death Row/Long Beach scene. Known for his laid‑back flow, slang‑rich lyrics and genre flexibility, he moved between gangsta rap, funk‑inflected tracks and mainstream pop collaborations. By 2004 he had reinvented his sound and released R&G (Rhythm & Gangsta): The Masterpiece.
