Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg are back in the studio together, with Snoop confirming the pair are âcooking upâ some new music. âWeâre cooking up a little something,â Snoop Dogg told ET at the LA premiere of his new movie, Day Shift. âI donât wanna talk about it too much, but weâre back together again. Itâs been 30 years since we worked on a record, and weâre doinâ something, weâre workinâ on something.â
The pair have an illustrious history together, with Dre and Snoop linking up for some of rapâs biggest records including âStill D.R.E.,â âThe Next Episodeâ and âNuthinâ but a âGâ Thang,â among a slew of others. The duo reunited on the Super Bowl stage for the Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show earlier this year, where they ran through a few of their hits.
Snoopâs cryptic red carpet announcement also comes after he confirmed on Instagram back in April that he had rejoined Dre in the studio, but eagle-eyed fans were quick to notice a potential tracklist written on a whiteboard behind Dre, with many theorizing it could be a tracklist to one the long-awaited Detox.
Itâs unclear if Detox is actually in the works, especially since Dr. Dre said back in 2015 that he ultimately canned the project because he simply didnât like it. âThis is something youâre not gonna hear many artists say: the reason that Detox didnât come out was because I didnât like it,â he said on Beats 1 Radio at the time. â It wasnât good. The record, it just wasnât good⊠I mean seriously, I worked my ass off on it, but I didnât think I did a good enough job. I couldnât do that to my fans, I couldnât do that to myself, to be honest.â
Regardless, Snoop has been hard at work giving his fans new music since taking over Death Row Records last year. He recently released a new summer album called Death Row Summer 2022, and he previously dropped off a new solo project, The Algorithm, back in February.
Snoop Dogg also squashed his longstanding beef with Eminem and dropped a new collab with him called âFrom The D 2 The LBCâ in June, and more recently he worked with benny blanco and the K-Pop group BTS for a new song titled âBad Decisions.â
âHey, I just try to stay active,â Snoop told ET of the latter collaboration while on the red carpet. âThe youngsters, they reach out, they call me⊠Iâm all about music. One thing about me, I donât like being boxed in. I like being a part of every genre of music so when they reach out and call, Iâll usually say yeah.â
