I'm not certain when he actually signed, but his first album came out in 1993.
He was with Death Row Records for quite awhile, from 1993
I love rap music. I recently bought an album from snoop dogg. Cool! Did you know his real name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus, Jr? lol yeah, that's a funny name for a gangster. Do you know what his debut album was called? I'm trying to buy that one too. Yes, it's called Doggystyle. Didn't he release a song about his murder trial? I'm not really sure, but he did release a soundtrack album for a film he was in called Murder Was the Case. That's crazy how he beat the case. Do you know when he first signed with a major record label?
Snoop's debut album, ''Doggystyle'', produced by Dr. Dre and released in 1993 through Death Row Records, debuted at number one on both the ''Billboard'' 200 and ''Billboard'' Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts.
