It’s kinda hard being Snoop D-O double-G, especially when record sales are tanking across the nation. But, ever the innovator, Snoop, having recently split with Interscope Records, just signed a deal with MTV to distribute his next album, Malice in Wonderland. Select tracks from the upcoming album will be released as playable songs on Rock Band. Additionally, Snoop's slated to host his own talk show, Dogg After Dark, a nighttime talk show hosted at LA nightclub Kress. It premiers tonight, February 17th at 9pm Eastern and Pacific on MTV.
Malice in Wonderland, Snoop’s follow-up to 2008’s Ego Trippin’, will feature collaborations with Pharrell, composer Lalo Schifrin, Dr. Dre, and others.
Snoop had this to say about his deal with MTV:
When Van Toffler and I sat down Boss to Boss, a global quintuple threat takeover was masterminded. As the world of entertainment keeps changing, we felt it was the right time to let Snoop Dogg back on MTV so we could continue to run thangs with music, movies, DVDs and bring Hip-Hop to Rock Band. So screw ya wigz on tight and tune in on Tuesday nights for the first step to the next level of Snoop D-O double G. Dogg after Dark is the only nightclub TV show hosted by you know who. So take a journey with me through the mind, body, soul and musical mind state of the most prolific, authentic game spitter. And tha shit is funny, so show me da money!
