Snoop Dogg

Snoop Dogg is the stage name of Calvin Broadus Jr., an American rapper who emerged from West Coast hip-hop in the early 1990s.

His laid-back delivery and distinctive drawl made him one of rap's most recognizable voices.

The name plays on his childhood nickname and suggests a cool, prowling presence: Snoop Dogg's new album dropped yesterday.
