What is the name of Snoop Dogg's record label?

The story behind the answer

The name of Snoop Dogg’s record label is Death Row Records. Founded in 1991 by Dr. Dre, Suge Knight, The D.O.C. and Dick Griffey, the label became the defining home of 1990s West Coast hip-hop.

Snoop Dogg rose to fame after appearing on Dr. Dre’s 1992 album The Chronic. His 1993 debut, Doggystyle, was released by Death Row and became one of the fastest-selling debut albums in history, making him one of the label’s signature artists alongside Dr. Dre and Tupac Shakur.

A common mix-up is Aftermath Entertainment, Dr. Dre’s later label, and Interscope Records, which distributed several Death Row releases. Snoop eventually left Death Row and recorded for other companies, including No Limit and Priority Records. In 2022, he acquired the Death Row Records brand, reconnecting him with the label that launched his career.

Death Row’s influence extended beyond Snoop’s catalog: its releases helped popularize G-funk, a polished, bass-heavy style built around funk samples, melodic synthesizers and relaxed grooves.
