EDMONTON–Let’s hope Alberta can address its weed shortage by Feb. 20, because Snoop Dogg is coming to town.

The 47-year-old rapper, known for hits like Drop it Like it’s Hot and Gin and Juice – as well as his affinity for cannabis – is scheduled to perform at Edmonton’s Rogers Place on Feb. 20, and at Calgary’s Scotiabank Saddledome on Feb. 21.

Born Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., Snoop Dogg became famous in the early 1990s for his distinctive rapping style and has since broadened his resume as an actor and entrepreneur, stamping his name on a range of products including his own cannabis company, Leafs by Snoop.

On Nov. 19, he was honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Snoop, formerly known as Snoop Doggy Dogg and briefly as Snoop Lion, will be joined by several other acts for the Alberta dates. Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Warren G, Kurupt and Luniz are slated to open.

The Edmonton presale starts at 10 a.m. Monday, and the Calgary presale starts at 10 a.m. Dec. 20.
