About Snoop Dogg

Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr. was born October 20, 1971 in Long Beach, California to Beverly Tate and Vernall Varnado, a Vietnam War veteran and singer who left the family shortly after Calvin's birth — the surname Broadus came from his mother's later marriage. He was raised in Long Beach's eastside, attended Long Beach Polytechnic High School (the same school that produced Cameron Diaz and a long roster of NFL athletes), and started rapping in his teenage years under the name Snoop Doggy Dogg, a childhood nickname his mother gave him. His cousin Warren G introduced him to Dr. Dre in the early 1990s, and Dre brought him onto The Chronic in 1992 as the lead vocal across Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang, Fuck wit Dre Day, Lil' Ghetto Boy, and the broader album sequence that defined the West Coast G-funk sound and re-established Dre as a solo force after his N.W.A. exit. Doggystyle followed in November 1993 through Death Row Records and Interscope, debuting at number one on the Billboard 200 and producing Gin and Juice, Who Am I (What's My Name?), and Doggy Dogg World as the radio anchors. Tha Doggfather in 1996 — his second Death Row album, recorded amid the upheaval of Death Row's late-1990s legal and personnel chaos — produced Snoop's Upside Ya Head. He left Death Row in 1998 amid the fallout from Tupac Shakur's 1996 death and the broader collapse of the label's late-90s operations, and signed with Master P's No Limit Records in New Orleans, releasing Da Game Is to Be Sold, Not to Be Told (1998), No Limit Top Dogg (1999), and Tha Last Meal (2000) across the No Limit cycle. He then signed with Star Trak Entertainment under Pharrell Williams and the Neptunes' production camp for Paid tha Cost to Be da Boss (2002) and R&G (Rhythm & Gangsta): The Masterpiece (2004), the latter producing Drop It Like It's Hot with Pharrell — a Billboard Hot 100 number one and one of the most-recognized hip-hop singles of the 2000s. Tha Blue Carpet Treatment in 2006 produced That's That Shit with R. Kelly; Ego Trippin' in 2008 was the country-influenced album cycle; Malice n Wonderland in 2009 carried I Wanna Rock; Doggumentary in 2011 followed the broader pop and R&B feature pattern of the era; the Reincarnated documentary and album cycle in 2013 reframed him briefly as Snoop Lion exploring reggae and Rastafarian themes; Bush with Pharrell Williams in 2015 returned to funk-leaning production; the gospel album Bible of Love in 2018 came alongside his publicly stated religious conversion; I Wanna Thank Me in 2019 marked his 17th solo studio album; Algorithm in 2021 was a curated compilation under the Snoop Dogg Presents banner; BODR (Bacc on Death Row) in 2022 marked his first album after acquiring Death Row Records; and Missionary in December 2024 reunited him with Dr. Dre for the first full-length album-format pairing since The Chronic era, anchored by Wide Awake and the broader G-funk catalogue Dre had built. In February 2022 he acquired Death Row Records from MNRK Music Group, returning ownership of the label that launched him to his own hands and pulling much of the historic Death Row catalogue temporarily off streaming services in early 2022 before later partial restoration. He co-hosted NBC's coverage of the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics alongside Mike Tirico, with daily field segments and primetime appearances drawing some of the highest ratings of the Olympic broadcast cycle, and continues an array of mainstream media credits: the Snoop & Martha cooking franchise with Martha Stewart that began on VH1 and has continued across multiple network and streaming incarnations; voice and on-camera roles in films including Soul Plane, Training Day, Pitch Perfect 2, The Addams Family animated reboot, and numerous others; commercial endorsements across Corona, Skechers, T-Mobile, Solo Stove, and a broad consumer-products portfolio; ownership of the Snoop Cereal brand launched in 2023 in partnership with Master P; partial ownership of the Indoor Football League's Salt Lake Stallions and other sports-business interests; and his Death Row Records label business. He married Shante Taylor in 1997 and has three children; he is a longtime Pittsburgh Steelers fan and a youth football coach in the Los Angeles area through the Snoop Youth Football League he founded. Touring across the catalogue has been consistent: full headlining North American arena routings, the High School Reunion Tour and similar co-headline runs with Wiz Khalifa and Warren G, the BUSH Tour with Pharrell, the Mount Westmore project (a supergroup of Snoop, Ice Cube, E-40, and Too $hort) headlining arena dates, the Cali to Canada Tour and similar cross-border routings, and major festival headlines at Coachella (the 2022 Super Bowl halftime show appearance with Dr. Dre, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, and Mary J. Blige in Inglewood was a near-festival-scale audience), the 2024 Missionary cycle co-headline dates with Dr. Dre when those have been announced, and Las Vegas residency-style multi-night runs at venues including the Pearl at Palms Casino Resort and similar Strip rooms.
