Long Beach, California emcee Snoop Dogg will release his eleventh studio album, Doggumentary on March 29. The superstar previewed the album at Hollywood’s Capitol Records Studios on February 18, with Billboard.com in attendance.
As the rapper hosted a catered and open bar event, he explained the album’s creation and songs. The release itself surprised some, as Snoop had been publicly telling fans and media that his next album would be a sequel to his 1993 multi-platinum debut, Doggystyle. That project may be scrapped, as the Doggfather explained his thinking in the closing months of 2010. “I thought, let’s put the two G’s there and make it more,” he added,” versus recreating a Doggystyle, Part 2. It’s just me doing me.”
Doggumentary reportedly includes updates of hit 1970s songs made by Boz Scaggs and Randy Newman, along with appearances and production from Kanye West, Wiz Khalifa, Scott Storch and Willie Nelson.
