This year Saturday night is a celebration of all things hip hop and who better to take centre stage and headline proceedings than the Doggfather himself Snoop Dogg.

Just about to release 11th studio album ‘Doggumentary’ Snoop has been at the heart of hip hop since the multi platinum phenomenon that was his debut album ‘Doggystyle’ way back in 1993.

Backed by Dre, Snoop descended on an unsuspecting musical world, first stop East Coast King, next, top of the pile, undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, his rise to the legendary status within the hip hop community and beyond is unprecedented.

The fact that he’s managed to stay there through ten more albums and 2 decades of musical evolution tells you something about the man and his talent, think hip hop, you more than likely think Snoop Dogg, he’s more than iconic, he’s a talisman for all that’s cool and relevant about the last twenty years of urban music, what’s his name? It’s Snoop Dogg.
