Snoop grew up in Long Beach and became one of the defining voices of West Coast hip-hop. He first gained wide attention through Dr. Dre’s 1992 album The Chronic, where his relaxed delivery and melodic flow stood out. His own debut album, Doggystyle, followed in 1993 and became one of the most influential and commercially successful rap albums of the decade.

His stage name has changed over time: he was initially known as Snoop Doggy Dogg, later shortened it to Snoop Dogg, and briefly used Snoop Lion during a reggae-focused period. He is also often associated with the phrase “Doggfather,” a nickname linked to his status in hip-hop. His October birthday is sometimes confused with the birth dates of other major West Coast rappers, but October 20, 1971, is Snoop Dogg’s established birth date.
