Snoop Dogg has released an official video for “No Smut On My Name,” which is taken from his brand new album, The Algorithm. The visual features the artists featured on the song, San Diego MC Battle Locco and Pomona rapper Kokane.
The black-and-white visual finds the MCs in dapper suits as they run through the hit track. Snoop proves that few rock a fedora quite like he does, and even fewer can bring the charisma like him.
The Algorithm features guest spots from Method Man and Redman, Benny the Butcher, Mary J Blige, and more.
Snoop has also released a video for “Murder Music,” which features Benny, Jadakiss, and Busta Rhymes. The visual stars all four rappers as they take turn spitting their verses against ominous backdrops and noir-inspired lighting.
In September, Snoop introduced The Algorithm with the release of a new single and video – on his 50th birthday – “Big Subwoofer” by Mount Westmore, the new supergroup comprised of west coast rap legends Snoop, Ice Cube, E-40, and Too Short.
When Snoop Dogg joined Def Jam Recordings in June, he took over a new role that will allow him to strategically work across the label’s executive team and artist roster. In the video 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.”
At the end of September, Snoop Dogg was announced as a performer during the 2022 Super Bowl Halftime show alongside Dre, Mary J. Blige, Eminem, and Kendrick Lamar. The show is set to be produced by Jay-Z’s Roc Nation and is presented by Pepsi in conjunction with the NFL and NBC. Regarding the huge announcement, Dre said, “I’m extremely excited to share the stage with my friends for the #PepsiHalftime Show. This will introduce the next saga of my career… Bigger and Better than Ever!!!”
