Love him or hate him, you have to admit Russ has come a long way.

Russ, a successful independent rapper with the receipts to prove it, was just in the studio with Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg.

He posted evidence of this musical encounter on Instagram.

"When I was 7 and writing raps in a notebook it was because of the music and artists this guy cultivated. Recording with Dr. Dre at his house and havin him coach me on the mic was insane 😂😂 can’t even believe it. Dream come true 🥂 shoutout to @larryjackson for making the introduction and capturing this moment," he captioned.

No word on what they were working on.
