Snoop Dogg released a compilation over the weekend entitled Death Row Summer 2022. A playlist that’s appropriate for the summer months. It’s an interesting mix of music. The album comprises 15 tracks and features contributions from The Eastsidaz, Tha Dogg Pound, Butch Cassidy, Raphael Saadiq, LaToiya Williams, Miguel, and more.
Along with the release of the full-length album, Snoop has also released the visuals for the lead track, “Whoopty Whoop,” which features Tha Dogg Pound members Kurupt and Daz Dillinger rapping about people saying nonsense and how they stay on top of their game:
Tha Dogg Pound and their crew can be spotted in the above video strolling along and performing at what appears to be a convention. In addition to their rhymes, they can be seen performing in front of murals of Warren G, Snoop, and the late Nate Dogg.
In March, Tha Dogg Pound announced their resignation from the legendary Death Row Records label, which Snoop had acquired from MNRK Music Group just a month earlier. He also revealed that the sequel to Tha Dogg Pound’s classic 1995 debut album is on its way in a removed Instagram video:
“Kurupt and Daz, we are back with the Dogg on The Row. Here’s some exciting news for all of you coming up. We have formulated a plan, and we are working on it. Dog Food 2 is coming, it’s Kurupt, Daz, Snoopy hitting ’em real heavy with that.”
In addition to dropping dope vibes for his fans, G Perico continues to release music. Perico’s latest is “That’s My Dawg,” a Latin-influenced tune produced by Trunx about the unconditional love Perico has for his homies:
In addition to his previously released singles, G Perico has already delivered a number of top-notch tracks this year, such as “Bacc 2 The Blocc” featuring Curren$y and “Half A Bird” featuring Dave East . Aside from the Tango EP, he also released the eight-track Tango EP, featuring a collaboration with BlocBoi Fame, as well as the standout tracks “INNERPRIZE RAP” and “Hurricane.”
Since G Perico parted ways with Roc Nation, he’s released more than a dozen albums under his own label Innerprize. There have been many top tier releases in the past year, such as Welcome to the Land, No Love In LA, and Play 2 Win. According to an interview he conducted with Home Grown Radio, he mentioned these reasons as to why partnering up with Roc Nation made sense at the time.
“I was independent when I walked in. Afterwards, I did my deal, and I think that was the right decision for me. I would probably be burned out right now if I hadn’t done that. As a result, I got to know people, and I formed relationships with Emery, Jay Brown … that’s family.”
The Bay Area’s own P-Lo has teamed up with hometown rapper Larry June to deliver a brand new song titled “Good.” The song is the first taste from the Bay Area rapper’s upcoming full-length album STUNNA. “Good” is also produced by Miles Media, Hokage Simon, Cal-A, Bosko, and P-Lo himself.
As well as sharing his plans for his upcoming music, the Filipino-American rapper also expressed his intentions. Despite so many obstacles in life seeking to knock you down, it is important to keep moving forward, P-Lo emphasized in a press release. In essence, my goal is to have people play my music and feel good about themselves.
He also provided assistance on “Again” by E-40 and LaRussell and “Inhibitions” by Thuy. He most recently released the album SHINE, which featured Mozzy, Dom Kennedy, Bosko, Jay Anthony, Mike Sherm, and Kehlani across 16 tracks.
In addition to space jam 2, insecure and blindspotting, P-Lo’s music has also been featured on such movies and shows as space jam 2: a new legacy. Having achieved major success with Bay Area anthems such as “Same Squad” and “Put Me On Somethin,” P-Lo has since gone to win a BMI Award and he has also written and produced tracks such as Kehlani “All Me,” Yo Gotti “Act Right,” and Flo Rida “GDFR.”
Earlier this year, Jay Worthy and Larry June and teamed up to release their collaborative effort, 2P’s In A Pod, which included eleven dope cuts and contributions from Suga Free, CeeLo Green, Roc Marciano, and Jim Jones. Before that, Larry released his Orange Print project, which was filled with smooth visuals for his fans, including “6am In Sausalito,” “Still Cookin,” and “Intercepted” with Money Man.
A deluxe version of Babyface Ray’s album FACE was released last month. It added eight new tracks to the project, in addition to collaborations with DJ Esco, Lil Yachty, Lucki, and more. As part of an upgraded release this week, the Detroit talent revealed a music video for “Spending Spree,” a Hendrix Smoke, DY Krazy, BMarch808Mafia, and Kayn-produced track that has Veeze joining the group and seeing both of them focused on money before anything else:
The accompanying clip for “Spending Spree” was created by Image Control Studios, and features Babyface and Veeze testing out some jewelry and money in a garage while a whip is playing in the background. Their crews can also be seen in an undisclosed location with their respective vehicles.
Face made its initial appearance in January with 20 cuts and the help of Icewear Yung Lean, 42 Dugg, G Herbo, Pusha T, Landstrip Chip, Vezzo, and Wiz Khalifa. After a year and a half after his well-received seven-track EP Unfuckwitable, Babyface Ray has released his sophomore project featuring guest appearances from Moneybagg Yo, EST Gee, and Kash Doll. In the same way as FACE, Unfuckwitable was later reissued with a deluxe edition packed with two additional tracks.
Just last week, he released his newest collection, Played To The Left: A Love Story Continued. The album is the sequel to Play Your Cards Right: A Westside Love Story released in 2019. In the new release, Griff tells the story of what happens when roles are reversed or when a player takes on the role of the opponent. His intimate details are evident in his cover art, where he is pictured with the same automobile pictured in his 2020 release, but this time alone, only holding a guitar.
He continues to build momentum with the release of his official music video for “High Notes,” a highlight from the new album. It seems that Griff is spending the day with his love interest in the recently released clip, but things are not as they seem:
Griff Tyler surprised us back in April of 2021 with the release of While I Have Your Attention EP. In addition to this, he made sure to provide us with some new visuals to further attract our attention. After spending time in the boxing ring with his fans in “Show Off,” he welcomed us into his Forehead Kisses Resort & Spa in an exclusive “Forehead Kisses” video. Over the years, he has released loose cuts such as “No Resolution,” “Runnin Game,” and “Shoot,” in the meantime.
The visual offering from Griff Tyler is another stellar visual from his 2020 Play Your Cards Right project, which features his track “Wassup” with G Perico, widely considered to be one of his fan favorites from the project. Nine songs are featured in this collection, including “Guarded” and “Wild West,” and as well as contributions from Emimeezy. In addition to other visuals from the same project, he has also released the official video for “Cold Piece.”
