Snoop Dogg Bush Doggystyle / Columbia Never one to shy away from trying something new, Snoop Dogg has released his latest effort, titled “Bush”. Produced in entirety by Pharrell Williams, the album boasts collaborations with Stevie Wonder, Charlie Wilson, T.I., Gwen Stefani, Kendrick Lamar and Rick Ross. The album has definitely received mixed reviews, but we think’s it’s surely worth a listen. You almost have an idea of what you’re getting, knowing that Pharrell is behind the controls in terms of musical landscape. Obviously, that has much to do with the success he and Snoop have already experienced with multiple releases over the past 12 years. The album is definitely a departure from the “expectation” of Snoop Dogg, but in essence, you want something that’s different and not the norm. Snoop is giving us hip-hop funk at it’s best. mariah carey 1 to infinity epic/columbia/legacy Never one to shy away from trying something new, Snoop Dogg has released his latest effort, titled “Bush”.
