DJ Premier on Snoop Dogg’s ‘GGN’ Show


 

“All music is good music if it touches your soul. If it don’t touch your soul that means it ain’t meant for you to make it.”

 
The one-and-only DJ Premier was featured on Snoop Dogg’s YouTube show “GGN” this week. The two legends chopped it up about all-things music, including their reverence for classic artists such as James Brown, Marley Marl, and KRS-One. Premo also spoke on the current state of hip-hop and discussed his upcoming projects with Miguel, Royce da 5’9″ and Adrian Younge.

Snoop Dogg Signs with Pharrell’s Label

Snoop Dogg & Pharrell
 
Last month, we posted a video of Snoop Dogg teasing an unreleased track produced by Pharrell (see below). Now, Billboard has reported that Snoop has signed with Skateboard P’s label, i am OTHER, which makes sense given that he’s producing the dogg’s upcoming album.
 
With classic collaborations such as “Beautiful,” “Let’s Get Blown,” and “Drop It Like It’s Hot” under their belts, Snoop’s new album has a pretty good chance of being amazing. And according to i am OTHER’s Instagram account, the album will also feature appearances from soul legends Stevie Wonder and Charlie Wilson.
 

 
Here’s a video of Pharrell talking with Power 106 about Snoop’s album:

DJ Mustard stopped by Snoop Dogg’s show GGN earlier this week to discuss his career and new album, 10 Summers. During the interview, Snoop praised the 24-year-old producer and his frequent collaborator YG.
 

“Y’all the new pioneers of the generation of hip-hop right now for the West Coast, you and YG . . . That’s y’all sound. It’s dope. I love it. I love it, I hear your name on everybody record and how everybody from R&B to hip-hop is getting at you.”

 
Snoop and Mustard also brainstormed the idea of doing a joint album called Hot Dogg Wit Mustard. We don’t know how serious they were but the concept definitely sounds dope.

Snoop Dogg Teases Unreleased Track with Pharrell

Snoop Dogg & Pharrell
 
With two timeless hits under their belt (“Beautiful” and “Drop It Like It’s Hot”), it’s safe to say Snoop Dogg and Pharrell Williams have serious chemistry.
 
Which brings us to one of the dopest videos we’ve watched this week: a short clip of the Doggfather playing an unreleased collaboration between him and the Grammy-winner. The audio only lasts for about 40 seconds but it’s enough to make us want to hear more.
 
Snoop didn’t reveal when the track will drop but Pharrell told Los Angeles’ Power 106 in June that he’s putting the finishing touches on Snoop’s album, which he said is “better than his.”
