The Doggfather Snoop Dogg was in Cardiff last Saturday, 8th October, performing at The Motorpoint Arena as part of his 2011 UK arena tour. The tour follows his triumphant UK festival appearances and saw Snoop deliver the ultimate show featuring special guests and all the hits spanning his 19 year long career.
Snoop Dogg has remained a constant force in music since bursting in to our collective consciousness alongside famed producer Dr Dre on the 1992 classic, 'The Chronic'. His debut album, 'Doggystyle' was the first debut album ever to enter the American charts at Number One. Over a career spanning nearly two decades Snoop has sold over 40 million albums worldwide, each of his eleven studio albums garnering a new generation of fans. Hugely respected by artists across the globe, he has collaborated with some of the biggest names in pop, most recently Katy Perry, Damon Albarn, Gorillaz, Kanye West and David Guetta making him a pop culture phenomenon.
Snoop's critically acclaimed 11th studio album, 'Doggumentary' has spawned his biggest UK single to date, the intoxicating track, 'Sweat' which is certified Gold and has sold nearly 500,000 copies in the UK alone.
