Born Marion Hugh “Suge” Knight Jr. on April 19, 1965 in Compton. He started his adult life as a celebrity bodyguard. In 1991, he partnered with Dr. Dre to form Death Row Records. The label was successful, Dre’s album, The Chronic, went on to triple platinum status and Snoop’s record Doggystyle obtained a quadruple platinum certification in the United States.
