Andre Romell Young

Dr Dre (Andre Romell Young) is an American rap artist and producer. He gained worldwide recognition in the music world thanks to his collaboration with rappers such as Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Ice Cube. Young created a new direction in music - gi-funk.

In the city of Los Angeles on February 18, 1965, a musician known under the pseudonym Dr Dre was born. Parents named their son Andre Romell Young. At that time, the rapper's mother, Vernet, was 16 years old. After giving birth, the musician's parents entered into an alliance. It is known that the name Romell was given to the producer by his father Theodore, who was a fan of the musical group The Romells.

Three years later, due to irreconcilable differences, Vernet and Theodore divorced. Andre's family lived in a disadvantaged area. At first, the young man went to Vanguard Junior High School, but due to high crime, Vernet transferred her son to Roosevelt Junior High School.

While the future billionaire was comprehending science, his mother conquered Warren Griffin, whom she later married. The couple met in Long Beach. Thanks to this marriage, DrDre has three sisters and a brother. Vernet's second son performs on stage under the pseudonym Warren G.

The rapper changed one school for another. In 1979, the young man ended up at Centennial High School, from where the musician was kicked out for poor academic performance. André had to go to Fremont High School. Back in his school years, the young man tried to find a job, but, having been refused by the airline, he decided to devote time to music.

At some point, fate throws the musician into the Eve After Dark club. The young man is inspired by the work of local DJs, performances by rappers. Here an important meeting for the biography of Dr Dre took place with a like-minded person Antoine Carraby. This became the reason for the appearance of the world famous pseudonym.

Gradually, the rapper's musical creativity continues to develop. With colleague Ice Cube, the guy records songs that belong to the Ruthless Records label. Young people decided to organize a group of rappers. Ice Cube and Dr Dre invited Eazy-E, Arabian Prince, MC Ren and DJ Yella to join the band. The guys attributed the music they performed to the new genre of "gangster rap".

Fame overtook the guys quickly, as the musicians offered listeners something different from what rappers did before. The tracks of the group contained obscene words, tragic stories. The disc, which was released under the name "Straight Outta Compton", was also expected to be extremely successful. The song "Fuck the Police" became popular among young boys and teenagers.

Another twist of fate makes Dr Dre go solo. Collaboration with the owner of the record company Death Row Records is bearing fruit. In 1991, a new round of the rapper's musical career began. And this happened after the release of the duet with Snoop Dogg. A year later, the world heard Dr Dre's first solo album "The Chronic".

Now the musician used the unique style of G-funk in his work, which quickly gained popularity in the rap environment. By 1995, relations with Death Row were heating up, so the rapper left the company and organized the Aftermath Entertainment label.

Young planned to develop as a rapper, but did not forget about his own label. In 1998, thanks to his acquaintance with producer Jimmy Iovine, Dr Dre invites a talented guy from Detroit, Eminem, under his wing.

It's time for the rapper's second solo album to be released. The official presentation took place in November 1999. Dr Dre named the disc "2001". To work on the hits, the musician invited friends, including Snoop Dogg, Eminem and Xzibit. This disc featured the song "The next episode".

Album sales were breaking records, so it went platinum 6 times. Even 5 years of oblivion did not affect the rapper's popularity. This disc contains hits, including "Forgot About Dre", "Still DRE". 2000 was a successful year for the rapper. The young man was named the Best Producer of the Year and was awarded a Grammy.

20 years of work and only two solo albums. Dr Dre was planning to release a third disc entitled "Detox". This disc was supposed to be the end of the rapper's career. During a news broadcast on MTV, Young shared information about Detox. According to Dr Dre, this disc will be conceptual. But the work on the disc was completed, and the hits never saw the light.

The rapper's attention was focused on producing young and talented musicians. After much deliberation, Dr Dre decided to present the album to the world, but in 2005. And again delays. As a result, the release date was set for 2009. DJ Khalil, Nottz, Bernard "Focus" Edwards Jr. participated in the creation of the compositions for the album.

The story with the album "Detox" took a lot of time and effort from Dr Dre. The author admitted in October 2009 that he had been working on this disc for 10 years. The musician has postponed the release date to 2010. A friend and performer of The Game said that this disc will be incredible, driving millions of fans crazy.

And here comes 2010, but no rumors about the release of a new disc from Dr Dre appear. By the end of the year, fans of the rapper's creativity heard the song “I Need a Doctor”. The track features Eminem and Skylar Gray. The guys shot a video, the video was presented in February 2011.

Thanks to this work, the musician's fans learned that the creative lull was the result of the accident, which Dr Dre got into in 2001, later there was a coma. All this time, Eminem was next to the rapper, who helped to cope with the problems. But the world of "Detox" never saw it.

For some time there was no news about the musician. In August 2015, the official presentation of the third disc by Dr Dre "Compton" took place. Concurrently, the hits from this album turned out to be the soundtrack for the film "Voice of the Streets". Critics praised the rapper's work. In 2016, the musician presented unreleased tracks.

When Dr Dre just turned 16, girlfriend Lisa Johnson announced that the teenager would become a father. The parents named the boy Curtis. Now the guy is known in the musical environment under the pseudonym Hood Surgeon. The relationship with Johnson did not last long.

In 1988, Young meets with Jenita Poter. The girl gave birth to the rapper's second son, who was named Andre Young Jr. But at the age of 20, the young man died suddenly. The media reported that an overdose of heroin and morphine was the cause of the death of Dr Dre's son.

Already in 1990, the musician met Michelle. The girl represented Death Row Records. Soon the couple had a son named Marcel, but the lovers' relationship lasted only 6 years. The guys decided to live separately.

Andre could not grieve for a long time alone, so he proposed to Nicole Srit. A year later, the couple had a boy named Truf, and in 2001, the Dr Dre family was replenished. Now the couple introduced Truly's daughter to the light.

Most of his time now Dr Dre is devoted to family and producing. The experienced musician is currently working on the Eminem album.
