Snoop Dogg details his new collaborations with Tom Petty, Eminem and 50 Cent

Shortly after announcing the tracklist for his upcoming album “Missionary,” Snoop Dogg gave a little sneak peek about how some of the most notable records will sound.

On Friday, the rapper was in New York’s Times Square to give a surprise performance to launch “Fortnite” Chapter 2 Remixwhich features contributions from Snoop, Ice Spice, Eminem and the estate of the late Juice WRLD. During an interview shortly after completing the performance, Snoop said he planned for two of the album’s tracks – “Last Dance With Mary Jane” featuring Jelly Roll and Tom Petty, and “Gunz n Smoke ” along with 50 Cent and Eminem – could potentially be featured in the new “Fortnite” rollout.

“Well, Tom Petty is a song about weed, so I don’t know if they’re going to let that one in,” he said. Variety. “But the 50 Cent Eminem song is a real street record that seems like it’s supposed to be in this game with all the different things I see. Especially in my cards, so it fits right in with what I’m doing.

Snoop also acknowledged that Eminem was included in the new “Fortnite” campaign and looked forward to aligning himself with his longtime associate as much as possible. “It’s Slim Shady, he’s my guy!” He’s my partner in the Balance gang,” he continued. “So we like to do as many things as we can do together, we like to do it because we’re a family. So I was happy to see that he was also part of it.

Outside of his “Fortnite” activation, Snoop revealed that he’s currently working on a film inspired by his love of “Planet of the Apes” — with a twist, of course. “I can’t really give up on the storyline, but I will (share) the idea,” he said. “I love ‘Planet of the Apes.’ “Planet of the Apes” made me wait too long to see the sequel. So I’m going to do something in this direction, without having to wait. But imagine that they were dogs and not monkeys.

Snoop is currently preparing for the release of “Missionary”, which is scheduled for release on December 13. Yesterday, he revealed the project’s tracklist with features such as Method Man, Sting, BJ the Chicago Kid, Smitty and more, as well as Jhené Aiko on the freshly released single “Gorgeous.”
