Dre

Andre Romelle Young, popularly known as Dr. Dre, is a rapper who first gained fame as a member of World Class Wreckin’ Cru — he later joined NWA. He took credit for releasing a few successful solo albums like 1992’s Chronic and 1999’s 2001. Dre eventually dedicated more of his time to producing records for artists like Eminem, 50 Cent, 2Pac, Snoop Dogg, and Kendrick Lamar.

In 1996, Dre left death row after getting tired of the ongoing legal disputes and disputes at the controversial company. Outside of his career as a rapper and producer, Dre founded his Beats by Dre brand, which sells different types of headphones and earphones. Some models are even in collaboration with artists like Lady Gaga and Diddy. Although this was his only other business venture, this managed to earn Dr. Dre a fortune and later made him the richest man in hip-hop.
