Last fall, Snoop Dogg and some of his west side comrades joined forces for the How the West Was Won concert. Now, Snoop is bringing along a new lineup, including ScHoolboy Q, Nef The Pharaoh and E-40, for this year's show.

The 2014 HWWW concert was made up of two shows: one in the Bay Area and another for a crowd in Irvine. The lineup included Ice Cube, The Game, Too $hort, Warren G, Suga Free and Tha Dogg Pound.
Snoop Dogg, who was portrayed in the summer blockbuster N.W.A. biopic Straight Outta Compton, was named as the Director of Football Development for ADIDAS.
Back in May, he released his 13th studio album, Bush. The project, which features the funk-infused "Peaches N Cream," received positive reviews thanks to its nostalgic vibe.
Though ScHoolboy Q has not released any new music of his own this year, it was reported that he plans to drop an album after Jay Rock. He released his debut, Oxymoron, last February.
Nef the Pharaoh, on the other hand, is currently enjoying the success of his breakout single "Big Tymin." Last month, YG and Ty Dolla $ign joined the up-and-coming rapper on the song's remix. Pharaoh recently signed with Sick Wid It Records, owned by fellow Vallejo native, E-40.
No word yet on whether SoCal fans will also get a concert.
Tickets for the show go on sale to the public on Friday, Aug. 21 at 10 a.m., PST.
