During a trip in England, the rapper Snoop Dogg went to a tiny recording studio, because he felt he's in the middle of a creative urge for a nocturnal mixing session. And it seems that his staff called to an unknown studio in the middle of the night, to book it.

A source says, "The owners of a tiny studio in remote Cheshire were shocked to receive a call from Snoop's label Polydor, at just six hours' notice that the Doggfather wanted to come in at 1a.m. and lay down some tracks.

"The stolen twilight session lasted until 11am, then Snoop fell asleep on the couch while his entourage tidied up the tunes on the mixer."

Snoop Dogg, real name Calvin Cordozar Broadus born in October 20, 1972 in Long Beach, California, is famous for using slang invented by Frankie Smith of "The Double Dutch Bus" fame and popularized by fellow rapper E-40, much of which is simply derived by adding an "izz" or "izzle" sound to the word.

Snoop Dogg has worked with Silkk the Shocker, C-Murder, B-Legit, Babyface, Bad Azz, Bizzy Bone,Young Bellz, Mariah Carey, Bootsy Collins, The D.O.C., Daz Dillinger, Dr. Dre, Nate Dogg, and The Neptunes, among others.

Snoop Dogg's sound has been heavily influenced by funk, and R&B. Snoop Dogg's music features samples from earlier black artists and groups, including James Brown, Marvin Gaye, and Parliament - Funkadelic.
