Dr. Dre

Dr. Dre, a legendary 7X Grammy and Emmy Award-winning artist/producer, is celebrating the 30th anniversary of his magnum opus, The Chronic. The album has been re-released by its original distributor, Interscope Records, who first released The Chronic in 1992 through their relationship with Death Row Records.

With its stylish and sonically detailed production, Dr. Dre's 1992 solo debut, The Chronic, completely transformed the sound of West Coast rap. Dre introduced his patented G-funk sound, characterized by fat, blunted Parliament-Funkadelic beats, soulful backing vocals, and live instruments that create rolling basslines and whiny synths.

Dr. Dre's ability to craft tight singles, inspired by George Clinton, helped him achieve success in bringing gangsta rap to the pop charts. However, what set The Chronic apart from its imitators was Dre's collaboration with Snoop Doggy Dogg. Snoop's unique singsong, lazy drawl added a rich personality to every track he touched, making him the signature voice of the album.
