Dr. Dre, born in Compton on February 18, 1965, faced a tumultuous childhood marked by family issues and a troubled relationship with his father.

Despite early challenges, Dre discovered his passion for music and began his career as a DJ, eventually joining the group World Class Wreckin’ Cru.

Dre co-founded N.W.A, which gained notoriety for its controversial lyrics and became a pivotal force in the rise of gangster rap.

The tragic death of his younger brother Tyrie deeply affected Dre, leading him to struggle with personal demons and increased alcohol consumption.

After leaving Death Row Records, Dre launched Aftermath Entertainment and discovered Eminem, leading to a resurgence in his career with the release of “The Slim Shady LP.”

Dre’s headphones brand, Beats by Dre, was sold to Apple for $3 billion, significantly boosting his wealth and status in the music industry.

In 2021, Dre faced serious health issues, including a brain aneurysm, but managed to recover and continues to work on new music projects.
