AceShowbiz - Long in the works for his next solo album, Snoop Dogg finally could taste the fruit as he's tapped an October 17th release date for "Blue Carpet Treatment."
Stevie Wonder, The Game, R. Kelly, Brandy and Daz & Kurupt were among the potential guest artists attending the preview of the set prospective tracks held in New York Monday July 10.
Lead single from "Blue Carpet Treatment", titled "Vato" addresses the conflict between African-Americans and Latinos in certain areas of California. The title is a Spanish slang term meaning "homie."
By now on, Snoop is busy selecting roughly 16 album cuts out of 300 songs he recorded. One confirmed track is the Neptunes-produced "So Special" featuring Brandy.
And subsequent to the album, Snoop will release the DVD "The Adventures of the Blue Carpet Treatment" in November. The disc will feature 10 animated videos for songs on the album and for additional tracks. Snoop is in talks to feature the series on Cartoon Network's "Adult Swim" and plans to leak two or three of the videos on the Internet via iTunes or YouTube.
