After leaving Ruthless Records and releasing the single “Deep Cover” with his protégé Snoop Doggy Dogg, Dr. Dre released his debut solo album The Chronic on December 15, 1992 through Death Row Records with distribution from Interscope Records. The album’s cover was created in the style of the artwork for Zig-Zag rolling papers and the term “chronic” is used for high-grade marijuana. Snoop Dogg claimed that the term originated after he misheard his dealer explain that what they were smoking was hydro ponic, which he explained on his GGN show.
