Snoop Dogg is a rapper known worldwide for his extensive catalogue of music, including 10 studio albums which have been nominated for multiple Grammy Awards and have won several awards from outlets such as MTV, BET, The Source and the American Music Awards. His 11th studio release, Doggumentary, which showcases the new single "Boom" featuring T-Pain, hits stores Tuesday, March 29. The album features collaborations with prolific artists and producers, including R. Kelly, Kanye West, Gorillaz, Jeezy, the Cataracs and Lex Luger.
As the release of his new album approaches, Snoop is continuing to enhance his connection with fans through his music and rewarding his loyal core fan base. Not only is Snoop utilizing his unrivaled digital presence to offer fans inside access to the creative process behind the Doggumentary, but the album itself acts a memoir of sorts, chronicling his journey in the game thus far and plotting where his path will lead him in the future. The latest collection reflects everything that the world has come to embrace about the man born Calvin Broadus.
To promote Doggumentary, Snoop has aligned his social media prowess with his creative output, "doggumenting" the album's progress online through a Twitter campaign, as well as Facebook. The rapper connects with fans by releasing exclusive visual and audio content to his 2.5 million Twitter followers and seven million Facebook fans every week. Next, unprecedented access to Snoop's inner circle is granted via his frequent Ustream sessions, which afford millions of fans across the globe the opportunity to log-in and interact with Snoop live as he streams new music. He is also responsible for the prolific WestFestTV channel on YouTube, which regularly uploads candid footage of Snoop in action and a slew of viral music videos.
