Legendary 90's (and naughties!) Hip Hop producer/artist who, as a member of NWA and co-founder of Death Row records was one of the main driving forces behind the phenomenon known as Gangsta Rap. Well known for his seminal work as a member/producer of NWA, then later producing and collaborating with Death Row artist Snoop Dogg and more recently with Eminem and D12.(Strangely enough there always seems to be a three to four year gap between his important new bodies of work) His own solo outings, 'The Chronic' and more recently '2001' are as equally highly regarded and rate as benchmarks in hip hop.
