November 16, 2005

      Snoop Dogg is scheduled to release his upcoming album "R&G (Rhythm & Gangsta): The Masterpiece" November 16. It features guest appearances from Soopafly, 50 Cent, Justin Timberlake, Nelly, Pharrell, Lil Jon and Trina, among others. Snoop also pays homage to the old school by enlisting the help of legendary P-Funk bassist Bootsy Collins and Gap Band frontman (and frequent Snoop collaborator) Charlie Wilson, who are featured on two tracks each.

Production comes from The Neptunes, LT Hutton, Soopafly, Denaun Porter, Warryn Campbell, Lil Jon, Ole Folks, Produced by Josef Leimberg, and Hi-Tek.

Below are 4 tracks from the upcoming Snoop Dogg album "R&G (Rhythm & Gangsta): The Masterpiece" droppin November 23. This should help as a preview before you consider buying it, since Snoop chosed to go a completely different route for this album. I guess you could call this an R&B album since its mostly love oriented songs with a lot of singing and some rapping here and there. The production is very laid back on most of the tracks like on "Ups & Downs" or "Promise I". The Neptunes produced "Let's Get Blown" is a more uptempo track. Last but not least the track "Step Yo Game Up" featuring Daz which will have Lil Jon and Trina's vocals on the final version.
