In a recent episode of Snoop Dogg’s YouTube series GGN, the rap icon dropped a bombshell revelation that has left fans buzzing. During a candid conversation with Benny The Butcher on January 24, Snoop shared details about an entire unreleased album he worked on with Harlem rapper Dave East.
The revelation unfolded organically as Snoop reflected on his heyday and expressed regret about some beats he wished he had dominated. Notably, he mentioned instrumentals by Pharrell and Swizz Beatz that eventually found their way to the likes of JAY-Z, Nas, and DMX.
The conversation took an intriguing turn when Benny playfully probed Harry Fraud, the producer behind his 2021 project “The Plugs I Met 2,” about beats given to Dave East. Seizing the moment, Snoop decided to unveil the hidden gem of his collaboration with the East Coast artist.
As a true aficionado of Hip Hop, Snoop shared the backstory of the project, revealing that it took place years ago when he visited New York to collaborate with Dave East. The two artists vibed in Harlem, creating a body of work reminiscent of the gritty sound associated with acts like Griselda.
However, the excitement surrounding the project was short-lived as the label intervened, altering the course of the album’s destiny. Snoop disclosed, “We did a whole project that was just like the shit that [Griselda] do. And then the label stepped in and was like, ‘Nah, we’re gonna do [this instead].'”
This exclusive revelation sheds light on a hidden chapter in Snoop Dogg’s musical journey, showcasing the dynamic collaboration that could have been. While the unreleased album remains in the shadows, fans can’t help but wonder about the potential impact it could have had on the rap scene.
As the story unfolds, enthusiasts eagerly await more details about the scrapped project and the artistic synergy between Snoop Dogg and Dave East that might one day see the light of day.
