DO YOU KNOW LA: QUIZ ANSWER

ANSWER: THE CHRONIC

The Chronic (1992), Dr. Dre’s debut solo album, is a landmark in West Coast hip-hop, released on Death Row Records. Recorded in Los Angeles, it defined the G-funk sound with its smooth, funk-inspired beats, heavy basslines, and laid-back yet gritty vibe. The album blends Dre’s production genius—featuring samples from Parliament-Funkadelic and crisp synths—with sharp lyricism and storytelling about LA street life, from gang culture to cruising Compton. Key tracks like “Nuthin’ but a ‘G’ Thang,” “F*ck wit Dre Day,” and “Let Me Ride” introduced Snoop Doggy Dogg and became anthems, shaping '90s rap. With its polished production and unapologetic narratives, The Chronic elevated gangsta rap’s mainstream appeal, selling over 5 million copies and earning a Grammy for “Let Me Ride.” It’s a nostalgic snapshot of LA’s Black culture, raw and influential.
