The eighth album from the rapper was originally to be released in mid-October.
The collection was put together with the help of some industry giants, including Dr. Dre, Timbaland, Rick Rock and the Neptunes. There are also some well-known stars who collaborated with Snoop, including Stevie Wonder, Ice Cube, the Game, Brandy, R. Kelly and MC Eight. The first single from the CD will be Vato.
Vato was written by Snoop Dogg and features B Real from Cypress Hill. The rapper says that he wrote the song to encourage peace between the Blacks and Latinos of his native California.
Snoop Dogg went through 300 of his recordings to find the right 16 songs for The Blue Carpet Treatment.
