Presented by the Not Greedy Entertainment Group, the rapper turned DJ will visit Laredo for the first time on Thursday, November 7.

The Dogg Father is visiting Laredo under the DJ Snoopadelic moniker, by which his DJ persona goes by. The SoCal rapper added DJing to his lengthy list of accomplishments in 2012, spinning classic R&B hits from way back, in addition to a selection of his own songs gathered from his storied career.

While Snoop will probably be behind the DJ booth, acting as the master of ceremonies, for most of the visit, there's a good chance he'll step out onto the stage himself, performing some his favorite tracks for the Laredo audience in attendance. He's also known for inviting a couple of his famous friends along for his DJ sets, so what the night holds will be a surprise to all.

"We are thrilled to host this legendary and iconic rapper at the Sames Auto Arena," Juan C. Mendiola, GM of the Sames Auto Arena, said in a press release. "We are ready to welcome this celebrity who has dominated the media in radio, television, film and other social media platforms."

The rapper is known for his breakout debut on Dr. Dre's classic 1992 album "The Chronic." The album is well-regarded, often mentioned in a list of the best rap albums of all time. The hit album soon led to his own debut record "Doggystyle," which was a landmark album of its own right, with hit singles including, "Gin & Juice" and "Who Am I? (What's My Name?)"

Recently, he has also made the leap into TV and film, including playing the part of host of his very own game show "The Joker's Wild" and joining forces with Martha Stewart for his own variety series on VH1 entitled, "Martha & Snoop's Potluck Dinner Party."
