Snoop Dogg has unveiled the tracklist, including the collaborators for his new album Bush that has been executive produced by the hardest working man in music, Pharrell. The 10-track album will feature some of the biggest names in hip-hop such as Rick Ross and Kendrick Lamar, as well as legends in soul and funk like Stevie Wonder and Charlie Wilson. Snoop revealed the tracklist on Twitter.
Snoop has already unveiled two tracks from the LP, the funky "Peaches N Cream" featuring Wilson and "So Many Pros," which showed a distinctly different direction for this album from his classic hip-hop records.
The collaboration with Kendrick is a meeting of the premiere Los Angeles rapper right now and one of the legendary names to come from the West Coast scene. The Doggfather shared a photo a few months ago of him and Lamar in the studio without many more details or talk of the two working together. Today we get confirmation that they were in the studio to make the final track on Bush.
In a new interview with Complex, Snoop Dogg sung his praises for Pharrell and spoke about their working relationship that led to the album. He also revealed why there is more singing than rapping on the album.
"I just took the direction well from Pharrell. Whatever he felt on this project, I took it from him. Then a lot of the time, I was telling them 'I don't really want to rap.' I just felt like if we were making records in the 1970s, nobody would have been rapping, they would have been following that groove line. So I just put myself in that mind state. The only reason why I rapped is because either Pharrell or his engineer would say "Hey Dogg, you should put a verse on there."
