He was the second of his mother’s three sons. When he was very young, Snoop began singing and playing piano at the Golgotha Trinity Baptist Church. In sixth grade, he began rapping.  As a child, Calvin sold candy, delivered newspapers, and bagged groceries to help his family make ends meet.

He was a member of the Rollin’ 20s Crips gang from the Eastside area of Long Beach. He was arrested for possession of cocaine not long after graduating from high school. For the next three years, was frequently in and out of jail or prison. Snoop and his cousins Nate Dogg and Lil’ 1/2 Dead and friend Warren G recorded homemade tapes.
