For the first time in some three decades Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre are officially teaming up new music.
Along with Eminem, Mary J. Blige and Kendrick Lamar, Snoop and Dre reunited for an epic live performance at this year’s Super Bowl halftime show, subsequent to which rumors spread about a forthcoming collaboration.
About their new music Snoop (born Calvin Broadus Jr) told ‘Entertainment Tonight’ “We’re cooking up a little something.” “I don’t wanna talk about it too much, but we’re back together again.” “It’s been 30 years since we worked on a record, and we’re doin’ something, we’re workin’ on something.”
Dogg shot to fame in 1992 when he was featured on Dre’s debut solo single, ‘Deep Cover’, and his solo LP ‘The Chronic’.
Earlier this year, Snoop bought Death Row Records, the label that launched his career, from MNRK Music Group for an undisclosed sum. And about the acquisition, the 50-year-old megastar stated “I am thrilled and appreciative of the opportunity to acquire the iconic and culturally significant Death Row Records brand, which has immense untapped future value.” “It feels good to have ownership of the label I was part of at the beginning of my career and as one of the founding members. This is an extremely meaningful moment for me.”
Dr. Dre (born Andre Romelle Young), was also instrumental in launching the career of Eminem when he signed the young, then unknown rapper in 1998. The studio legend and music mogul has also overseen and produced tracks for 34-year-old Kendrick.
