Calvin Broadus grew up in Long Beach and landed on Dr. Dre’s desk in 1991 after a freestyle tape made the rounds — a year later he was all over The Chronic, and by 1993 his own debut Doggystyle opened at No. 1. Over three decades he's shape-shifted through Death Row, No Limit, Snoop Lion and a Death Row buyout in 2022, all while staying one of the most recognizable voices in the genre. Closed out the 2024 Paris Olympics and is still dropping records — over 35 million sold worldwide.
