It went on to be certified triple-platinum and he won the Grammy for Best Rap Solo Performance. Dre produced Snoop Dogg’s debut album, Doggystyle, which was the first debut album to enter the Billboard 200 chart at number one. Dre left Death Row in 1995 forming Aftermath Entertainment. Dre produced the 1999 debut album for Eminem, helping to launch his career. Dre’s second album, 2001, was released and considered a return to his roots. Afterward, Dre focused on production, working with rappers like Jay Z and Young Buck. Dre was reportedly working on a third album, Detox, but as of 2015, it has yet to be released. Since 2008, Dre has been associated with his brand of headphones, Beats by Dre.
