After decades in the music industry, Snoop Dogg will finally receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Variety reports the 47-year-old West Coast rapper will be honored next week on Hollywood Boulevard in front of Jimmy Kimmel Live! Kimmel will present the plaque during the ceremony, alongside Quincy Jones and Death Row Records founder Dr. Dre.

"Snoop Dogg is one of those people who can do anything. He raps, he acts, he hosts a television show, he cooks, and helps community kids with his philanthropic work,” Ana Martinez, producer of the Hollywood Walk of Fame, said in a statement. "He is a man of the ages and we welcome him to our Hollywood Walk of Fame."

Snoop will be recognized in the recording category; however, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce has also recognized the rapper's growing list of business endeavors. Since entering the business in the early 1990s, Snoop has expanded his empire in the realms of TV, movies, fashion, cannabis ventures, and more. 

The dedication ceremony will go down at 11:30 a.m. PT on Nov. 19. Fans can livestream the event exclusively at WalkofFame.com.

Days after he receives the honor, Snoop will hit the road for his Puff Puff Pass U.S. Tour, featuring Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Too Short, Warren G, Baby Bash, Spice I, Luniz, Afro Man, Tha Eastsidaz, Suga Free, and B-Legit. The trek will kick off Nov. 24 in Las Vegas and will conclude Jan. 5 in Atlanta. Check out the full list of dates below.
