Dr. Dre

An American rapper, record producer, and record executive, Dr. Dre is considered a leading rap pioneer. His career began when he was a member of the World Class Wreckin’ Cru, an electro music group. What catapulted him to the spotlight was his rap group N.W.A. Dr. Dre teamed up with other great rappers Eazy-E, Ice Cube, Yella, MC Ren, the Arabian Prince, and the D.O.C. The group was hard-hitting, and they popularized explicit lyrics in the hip hop world.

As a solo artist, he achieved many things and sold millions of records. Some of his classic songs are Let Me Ride and Nuthin’ but a ‘G’ Thang. Dr. Dre is known for signing upcoming artists and producing their music and occasionally adding vocals. He has signed notable rappers like Eminem and 50 Cent. He is also business-savvy, as he used his investment money to put up Beats Electronics and Aftermath. He released an album in 2015 called Compton, which was inspired by the N.W.A. biographical film about N.W.A. entitled Straight Outta Compton. Last year, Detroit rapper Page Kennedy spilled that Dr. Dre’s new album is finished, and the album has a track that features Eminem.
