NEW YORK, NY (Geffen Records) -- Hip hop icon and superstar rapper
Snoop Dogg is climbing up the charts once again, with not just one, but two hit singles competing simultaneously for the top spot. The highly rotated "That's That" featuring R.
Kelly and Snoop and Akon's "
I Wanna Love You" have become two of the fastest growing records on the singles chart and will be available to fans on his highly anticipated new album, "Tha Blue Carpet Treatment," due in stores on November 21st through Doggystyle/Geffen.
After only two short weeks since its release, the bouncy "That's That" featuring R&B star R. Kelly, produced by Nottz, and mixed by Dr. Dre, has catapulted to an audience of 27 million, quickly growing from its current position at #17 in the Urban singles chart. The visually stimulating video, directed by Benny Boom, debuted on MTV and BET last week and was added into immediate rotation on all of the MTV Networks (MTV, MTV2, MTVJams, MTVHits) and BET.
"I Wanna Love You," the contagious collaboration with singer Akon, has an audience of over 96 million and is currently #1 on the Rhythmic chart, #12 on the Urban chart and #30 on the Top 40 chart. The pairing of Snoop's laid back delivery and Akon's signature vocals has made the song a mega hit, with radio spins growing exponentially week after week. The single will also appear on Akon's album "Konvicted." The video, directed by Benny Boom, was shot recently in Los Angeles and will be making its debut soon. Snoop and Akon will team up for the first televised performance of the hit single at the American Music Awards, airing live on ABC on November 21st.
"Tha Blue Carpet Treatment" is Snoop Dogg's eighth solo album to date and has been well received by music critics as his best musical body of work since his classic album debut in 1993. XXL writes, "Snoop's lyrical fire seems resurrected, as he delivers arguable his most consistently scorching work post-Doggystyle." The album also reunites Snoop with the legendary Dr. Dre, with three songs from the dynamic duo. Producers who collaborated on "Tha Blue Carpet Treatment" include hitmakers Timbaland, Rick Rock, The Neptunes, among others; along with guest appearances by artists such as D'Angelo, Stevie Wonder, Ice Cube, The Game, Nate Dogg and Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley.
