Snoop Dogg, born Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., is a 🏷️#rapper, 🏷️#songwriter, 🏷️#actor, and 🏷️#entrepreneur who emerged in 1992 after being discovered by Dr. Dre and featured on The Chronic. His debut album Doggystyle arrived in 1993 at number one on the Billboard 200, and he has since sold more than 23 million albums in the United States and 35 million worldwide across three decades of releases.
As a 🏷️#cannapreneur he has built a portfolio around cannabis and media.
