Born Warren Griffin III on November 10, 1970, in Long Beach, California, Warren G’s early life saw him move between East and North Long Beach after his parents’ divorce. He attended Jordan High School, where he participated in football and track. Following a brief period of incarceration at age 17, and working at the Long Beach shipyards, his stepfather, Dr. Dre, began to teach him how to use a drum machine, which solidified his focus on music. By 1990, he formed the influential trio 213 with childhood friends Nathaniel “Nate Dogg” Hale and Calvin “Snoop Dogg” Broadus. This group was instrumental in shaping the emerging G-funk sound. Warren G played a pivotal role in introducing Snoop Dogg to Dr. Dre, laying the groundwork for Snoop’s eventual superstardom.
Warren G’s solo career began to flourish when he signed with Def Jam Recordings. His debut single “Regulate,” a duet with Nate Dogg, released in 1994, became a significant commercial success, spending 18 weeks in the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100, including three weeks at number two. The song achieved platinum status, selling over a million copies, and remains Def Jam’s biggest single. His debut album, “Regulate… G Funk Era,” also released in 1994, sold a million copies in three days and debuted at number two on the Billboard 200, eventually achieving triple-platinum certification. The album produced another hit single, “This D.J.,” which earned Gold status and peaked at number nine on the Billboard Hot 100. Both “Regulate” and “This D.J.” received Grammy nominations at the 37th Annual Grammy Awards.
His subsequent albums, “Take a Look Over Your Shoulder” (1997) and “I Want It All” (1999), both achieved Gold certification, featuring hits like “What’s Love Got to Do with It” and “I Want It All.” After his fourth album, “The Return of the Regulator” (2001), Warren G transitioned to independent releases with “In the Mid-Nite Hour” (2005) and “The G Files” (2009). In 2015, he released the EP “Regulate… G Funk Era, Part II,” featuring unreleased recordings from Nate Dogg. Beyond music, Warren G has ventured into entrepreneurship, launching “Sniffin Griffin’s BBQ” a line of barbecue sauces and rubs in 2019, inspired by his father’s cooking.
