Live debuts from Dre and Snoop one tenor digs? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bedsit

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'digs?' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Cheap digs' mean 'bedsit' so perhaps 'digs' could also mean 'bedsit')

'live debuts from dre and snoop one tenor' is the wordplay.
'live' becomes 'be' (synonyms).
'debuts from' indicates taking the first letters (a debut is a first).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'snoop one' becomes 'si' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'tenor' becomes 't'.
The initial letter of 'dre' is 'd'.
'be'+'d'+'si'+'t'='BEDSIT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bedsit that I've seen before include "Basic accommodation" , "single-room accommodation" , "Single room for living" , "One-roomed apartment" , "One-room flat" .)
