  • Other Information:Andre Romelle Young (born February 18, 1965), known professionally as Dr. Dre, is an American rapper and record producer.[1][2] He is the co-founder of Beats Electronics, which had been acquired in 2014 for $3.4 billion by technology giant Apple Inc.[3][4] He is also the founder and CEO of Aftermath Entertainment after previously co-forming and owning Death Row Records.[5] His career began as a member of the World Class Wreckin' Cru in 1985[6] and later transitioned to the gangsta rap group N.W.A a year following. Dre was also credited as a key figure in the crafting and po[CENSORED]rization of West Coast G-funk, a subgenre of hip hop characterized by a synthesizer foundation and slow, heavy beats.[7] After departing from the disbanded N.W.A and Ruthless Records in 1991, Dre's solo debut studio album, The Chronic (1992), made him one of the best-selling American music artists of 1993.[8] It was supported by singles, "Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang" and "Let Me Ride"; the latter earned him a Grammy Award for Best Rap Solo Performance. After a seven-year hiatus and issues with Death Row, he released a sophomore solo album, 2001, in late 1999.[9] During the remainder of the 2000s, Dre focused on producing other artists, occasionally contributing vocals.[10][11] He signed, produced albums for and overseen the careers of various artists around his circle. Dre has also had minor acting roles in films such as Set It Off, The Wash, and Training Day. He has won six Grammy Awards, including one in 2000 for Producer of the Year, Non-Classical. Rolling Stone ranked him number fifty-six on the list of 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. He was the second-richest figure in hip hop as of 2018 with an estimated net worth of $800 million.[12][13] Despite his success as a musician, accusations of Dre's violence against women have been widely publicized from 1991 to 2019 and again in 2021. His victims include Dee Barnes,[14] Michel'le,[15] Lisa Johnson,[16] Tairrie B,[17] and his ex-wife Nicole Plotzker-Young.[18][19] Two weeks following the release of his third album and his first in sixteen years, Compton, in August 2015, he issued an apology to the women "I've hurt".[20][21]
