Snoop Dogg is currently signed to Def Jam Recordings, where he also serves as Executive Creative and Strategic Consultant since June 2021. This marked a significant move in his career, as he joined the legendary hip-hop label after decades of working with other major record companies.

Throughout his career, Snoop has been associated with several prominent record labels. Here's a chronological breakdown of his label history:

Death Row Records (1991-1998)
No Limit Records (1998-2000)
Priority Records/Capitol Records (2002-2009)
EMI Records (2009-2012)
RCA Records/Sony Music (2012-2020)
Def Jam Recordings (2021-present)

His most notable early affiliation was with Death Row Records, where he released his groundbreaking debut album "Doggystyle" in 1993. This partnership helped establish him as one of hip-hop's most recognizable figures.

In his current role at Def Jam, Snoop not only releases music but also helps shape the label's future by consulting on strategic initiatives and mentoring new artists. This position allows him to contribute to the label's creative direction while continuing his own musical career.

It's worth noting that Snoop Dogg has maintained his independent record label, Doggystyle Records, throughout these various label partnerships. This label serves as a platform for both his own projects and those of artists he discovers and mentors.

Under Def Jam, Snoop has released the album "BODR (Bacc on Death Row)" in 2022, marking his first major release with the label. His position at Def Jam represents both his continued evolution as an artist and his expanding role in the music industry's business side.
