A virtual Mount Rushmore of West Coast rap legends have joined forces to create a supergroup. Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, E-40 and Too $hort have come together to form a fearsome hip-hop foursome that might be dropping their first project in 2021.
L.A. + The Bay Legends Link Up
The news was revealed during Too $hort’s recent appearance on MC Serch‘s podcast.
Los Angeles natives Snoop and Ice Cube linked up with Bay Area ballers E-40 and Too $hort earlier this year while everyone was quarantined. Short said they’ve already made 25 songs and will make their official debut next year.
Too $hort + E-40 Have Done This Before
In case you forgot, two of the new group’s members have been a tag team in the past. In 2012, Too $hort and E-40 dropped two albums together, History: Mob Music and History: Function Music. All four members have previously collaborated on a number of songs over the years, such as Snoop’s appearance on Cube’s “Go To Church” single in 2013.
Snoop Dogg Is Starting A Pro Boxing League
In addition to the supergroup, Snoop is adding another venture to his ever-growing list. The Doggfather is reportedly launching a professional boxing league called The Fight Club.
“The Fight Club will have five to eight events per year, according to a news release issued by Snoop Dogg and Triller, with a similar layout to how Saturday’s Tyson-Jones card was produced by mixing boxing and musical acts. Snoop Dogg was a commentator on the pay-per-view event and also performed, along with Wiz Khalifa, Ne-Yo and others.” (ESPN)
Ice Cube Explains Why He Went Ghost After Trump Drama
Cube was all over the place in the weeks leading up to Election Day, but went pretty quiet after Joe Biden handed sitting POTUS Donald Trump an L. The Hollywood actor/rapper has now come forward to explain what he’s been up to.
“I know a lot people been wondering where I’ve been. I was real active before the election, talking about what’s needed, you know, specifically for the Black community. About 10 days or two weeks before the election, I pushed back all the way pretty much until now because I just felt there was a lot of noise, a lot of poison, a lot of people with they own agendas—personal agendas or party agendas—and they really wanted to attack me for what I was doing because it was outside of the line of what they was doing, or what they believed need to be done.” (Twitter)
