Dre then formed a new record label called Aftermath Entertainment. It had some difficulties in its first couple of years, releasing poorly received records, but it turned around when Dre signed Eminem, whose debut album ''Music/TheSlimShadyLP'' proved to be a huge hit. Dre also released his second album ''2001'' on the label, which was also a huge success. Since then, Dre has been more focused on producing works for other artists ranging from Music/MaryJBlige to [[Music/NoDoubt Gwen Stefani]] rather than releasing solo records. This also included Aftermath signee 50 Cent, whose first 2 albums both went multi-platinum. Dre would also continue to work with Eminem throughout the 2000s, producing many successful releases for him.

Dre had a falling out though with fellow member Eazy-E and left N.W.A. to help start Creator/DeathRowRecords with Suge Knight. The first album released on the label was Dre’s The Chronic which proved highly successful, going 3xplatinum, and was a key influence on the g-funk sound that dominated rap music for the next few years. He also worked a lot with protégée Snoop Dogg, who was featured on many of the tracks from the chronic, even producing his first death row album Doggystyle, an album which also proved to be highly influential and commercially successful. Dre also collaborated with [[Music/TupacShakur 2Pac]] when he was signed to death row, including the number 1 hit California love. Dre left Death Row though in 1996 due to concern over Suge Knight whom he felt was financially dishonest and was becoming increasingly thuggish.
