Snoop Dogg finally unveil a release date for his 18th studio album, From The Streets 2 Tha Suites. The West Coast gangsta rap pioneer made the announcement on Wednesday (April 7) via Instagram and revealed the project would arrive on the most weed-friendly date possible — April 20, the international weed smoker’s holiday.
The longtime cannabis connoisseur shared a photo of the album’s cover art, which features four different single blue shoes (including a Nike Cortez and Chuck Taylor high-top) and the Los Angeles skyline in the background. He wrote in the caption, “NEW ALBUM 4/20. ‘From Tha Streets 2 Tha Suites.’ pre-save link in bio.” No further details were included.
Snoop Dogg announced From The Streets To Tha Suites on March 29 and shared the first single, “Roaches In My Ashtray,” on April 2.
“So I get a call during the early part of the quarantine from E-40 and Ice Cube going, ‘Man, we feel like we should do an album. Like me, you … it’s E-40, Cube, Too $hort and Snoop Dogg. And I’m like — E-40 and Too $hort from the Bay, Snoop Dogg and Cube are from L.A. and we like the West Coast foundation. We sat there and was like, ‘Fuck it, let’s do it.’ So, we start coming up with beats.”
