Dr. Dre

The Chronic

Andre Romell Young was born on February 18, 1965 in Compton and has been active since 1984, on labels including Ruthless, Death Row, Priority, Interscope and his own Aftermath. The Chronic (December 15, 1992, Death Row/Interscope/Priority) was recorded between April and June 1992 at Death Row Studios in Los Angeles, mastered at Bernie Grundman Mastering in Hollywood, and produced entirely by Dr. Dre. The co-writer Colin Wolfe told The Ringer that he and Dre wanted to make a real Parliament-Funkadelic album, and Dre often had musicians replay melodies and bass lines rather than only sampling them.
