Snoop Dogg Announces ‘The Algorithm’ | Drops New Video with Ice Cube, E-40 & Too $hort
Global superstar, entrepreneur, cultural icon, and executive creative consultant of Def Jam Recordings, Snoop Dogg has announced his first project for the label: “Snoop Dogg Presents The Algorithm.”
“The Algorithm” is introduced with the release of a new single and video today – Snoop’s 50th birthday – “Big Subwoofer” by Mount Westmore, the new supergroup comprised of west coast rap legends Snoop, Ice Cube, E-40 and Too $hort.
“Big Subwoofer” is the first blast from The Algorithm, an all-encompassing new project that features artists from the legendary Def Jam label’s past, present & future. It’s Snoop‘s mission to change the current algorithm of what we listen to today, by putting feeling back into music with the release of his new project.
“There’s so much talent on this record,” stated Snoop, “so many styles of music, it breaks the algorithm. Right now, the algorithm is telling us you have to rap this way, you have to sound this way, but they’re not telling you how it’s supposed to feel. My algorithm is going to give you a feeling, not a sound.”
In the visual accompanying the announcement, Snoop characterized Def Jam as “the holy grail of hip-hop.” His main focus, he emphasized, would be “to help the artists and give them love and wisdom and guidance and understanding, teach them some tricks that I learned in the game — to diversify their portfolios to be superstars.”
