Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, E-40 and Too $hort have linked up for a new track off their forthcoming Mount Westmore album, and it’s already shaping up to be a legendary affair.
Released on Friday (December 2), the supergroup’s new single, “Activated,” finds each of the aforementioned MCs in their comfort zone as they rap over a classic West Coast beat.
It comes shortly after they dropped off their “Free Game” single last week.
Mount Westmore will drop their 16-track Snoop, Cube, 40, $hort LP on December 9 after initially making the project available exclusively via blockchain under the title Bad MFs over the summer.
The release to DSPs will include additional tracks not featured in the previous release.
“You know what it is,” Cube said at the time of the Bad MFs release. “Mount Westmore — you got the four pillars of West Coast Hip Hop. We are down with Gala Music. We are coming out with that Mount Westmore Bad MFs album. There is going to be new music, new experiences, shows, everything that the Westmore got, baby, you gonna get it.”
The album arrives two years after the group first formed – with HipHopDX breaking the news after obtaining an exclusive clip from MC Serch and Too $hort.
“I get a call during the early part of the quarantine from E-40 and Ice Cube going, ‘Man, we feel like we should do an album. Like me, you … it’s E-40, Cube, Too $hort and Snoop Dogg,” $hort told Serch on his Serch Says podcast.
“And I’m like, E-40 and Too $hort from the Bay, Snoop Dogg and Cube are from L.A. and we like the West Coast foundation. We sat there and was like, ‘Fuck it, let’s do it.’ So, we start coming up with beats.”
Along with the new single “Activated,” the supergroup also shared the full tracklist for the album, which will sport an additional feature from P-Lo.

Beats sound so leftover for now. Been there done that. I love all of them but…What’s the motivation behind all this?
The chimes and bells are straight out of the 1990’s “DJ Quick makes a West Coast album” playbook. I don’t mean that in a positive way either.
Some reason I feel a long drawn out, bitch made post coming from The Game any min about how he held the West Coast down and should be on the album and rushmore of WC hiphop LOL
This shit gonna be hot. Can’t wait
The game would rock you pu $$ y
I love that these old heads keep going. So much better than the drivel we get from most modern “rappers”.
This should have happened in their prime and this still would be good if they would have left Snoop out he’s so horrible
Nobody til this very day will ever bring that shit to any one of those MCs. Motherfuckers are legends that will ALWAYS be relevant regardless. Snoopys still the smoothest mfucka at 50 who can bring bangers whenever with whoever so smash the shit talking them Twitter fingers ain’t scary homeboy…oh,my bad,you got platinum plaques and drop jewels in the studio with niggas?! Talk talk talk talk talk talk…hating ass negative energy ass…jk,I can give a fuck what anyone says,if it bumps,bump that shit!
