West Coast Rap legend return to Ireland for a special performance at the RDS Simmonscourt this year on the 24 September, one of only 4 select European shows Snoop has announced on the High Rollers Tour
This year celebrates the 30 year anniversary of Snoop Dogg’s iconic album “DOGGYSTYLE” which was released on 23 November 1993. With Snoop’s RDS show being just one month to the day of his anniversary expect to hear plenty of your favourite classic Doggystyle records, along with adapting an entirely new show to his recent appearances in March on his ‘I Wanna Thank Me Tour’.
Obie Trice who as previously billed to support Snoop Dogg was unavailable to perform on the ‘I Wanna Thank Me’ tour due to visa issues which have thankfully now been resolved which means Irish fans can look forward to seeing Shady Records Rap Royalty Obie Trice make his long-awaited return to Ireland.
2023 also marks the 20 year anniversary of Obie’s album ‘Cheers’ which boasts collaborations with Eminem, Dr.Dre, Busta Rhymes, Nate Dogg and 50 Cent and was slated as one of the best debut albums in Hip Hop.
West Coast rap legend Snoop Dogg has come a long way since being discovered by Dr. Dre in the early 1990. As impressive as he was when guesting on Dre’s The Chronic in 1992, few could have guessed he’d go on to global fame, tens of millions of record sales, and a career in movies and TV. And that’s only part of the story, from battles with the law to reinvention as a reggae artist.
Snoop's first album, the Dre-produced Doggystyle (1993), climbed its way to the No. 1 spot on Billboard's hip-hop and Top 200 charts, based in part on the success of the singles "Who Am I (What's My Name)?" and "Gin and Juice."
Next came a short film called Murder Was the Case, the soundtrack of which went double platinum. Snoop's next album, Tha Doggfather (1996), also reached the top of the charts, despite the absence of Dre, who had left Death Row over a contract dispute. Snoop then left Death Row himself, falling out with label mogul Suge Knight and moving to Master P’s No Limit Records. He scored the top slot on the hip-hop charts with his next two albums: Da Game Is to Be Sold, Not to Be Told (1998) and No Limit Top Dogg (1999). His last album for No Limit, The Last Meal, came in 2000 and sold over 2 million copies. By now his sound had become less "gangsta rap" and somewhat smoother.
He is held in high esteem and affection by hip-hop fans worldwide, and is one of the most recognisable faces and voices of the whole genre, even to those who don’t listen to his music. He has the distinction for having the most Grammy nominations of any music artist— 17 to date — without having won one. But as Snoop Dogg shows few signs of retiring, don’t write him off just yet.
