The Long Beach hip hop legend revealed the cover art for his new album on Monday. The album, titled Cool Aid, features a cartoon Snoop Dogg, in a style that bears a definite resemblance to the artwork on his classic album Doggystyle, selling a Kool Aid-like drink. Cool Aid will mark Snoop Dogg's first album since last year's Bush, a funk-inspired affair produced by Pharrell.
Apparently, Snoop has been working closely with acclaimed producer Just Blaze for this project, as Just Blaze recently commented in an interview with Billboard that his work for this album, “felt like and updated version of that old Death Row sound, kind of an updated G Funk.” Snoop Dogg recently went on Jimmy Kimmel to discuss the album, and he offered this explanation for the title, “I'm cool, you know, and I'm laid back.”
The album is scheduled to be released on July 1st. Additionally, Snoop will begin his High Road Tour with Wiz Khalifa on July 20th.
