Snoop Dogg came to the attention of famed producer-rapper Dr. Dre, who featured him on his single “Deep Cover” and on his landmark album The Chronic (both 1992).
Snoop’s prominent vocals on the hit singles “Dre Day” and “Nuthin’ but a ‘G’ Thang” fueled a rapid ascent to stardom.
His own album Doggystyle (1993) became the first debut record to enter the Billboard 200 chart at number one.
