SANTA MONICA, Calif., July 6 /PRNewswire/ -

Grammy nominated recording artist and multi-media star Snoop Dogg is recording an album tentatively titled R&G: (Rhythm & Gangsta) The Masterpiece to be released this fall.

R&G: (Rhythm & Gangsta) The Masterpiece is the follow up to Snoop's Grammy nominated Paid Tha Cost To Be Da Bo$$ (2002) which yielded his # 1 hit "Beautiful."

new album. As executive producer, Snoop is also providing tracks from his closest producers whom

He spawned such solo hits as "What's My Name," "Gin & Juice," "Just A Baby Boy," and "Beautiful." He introduced the world to The Eastsidaz and his Doggy Style All Stars. Snoop's talents know no bounds; his notoriety and instantly identifiable persona and voice have garnered him numerous other opportunities and successes.
