Snoop Dogg burst onto the west coast music scene in the early 1990s after getting discovered by rapper and producer, Dr. Dre. After collaborating with Dr. Dre on his popular album, “The Chronic,” Snoop Dogg released his first solo album entitled “Doggystyle.” The album rose the charts, eventually going quadruple platinum. Since then, Snoop has released nine other albums and starred in more than 30 movies and television shows.

Mike Epps began performing standup comedy as a teenager and in 1995, began touring in the hugely successful “Def Comedy Jam.” He also made it onto two of the “Def Comedy Jam” broadcasts. After appearances in a Vin Diesel movie called “Strays” and on an episode of “The Sopranos,” Epps was cast opposite Ice Cube in the comedy movie “Next Friday.” Since then, Epps has racked up numerous other movie credits including “The Fighting Temptations” with Beyonce and Cuba Gooding, Jr., “Resident Evil: Apocalypse,” “Resident Evil: Extinction” and more.
