Snoop Dogg Back Up Scoop DeVille

Snoop Dogg Drops Off The Synth Funk'd "Back Up" (prod. Scoop Deville)

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

Stop the presses and pause your rolling, Snoop Dogg is back with a brand new surprise single. It's called "Back Up," and features some funky on-point production from West Coast beatmaking denizen Scoop Deville. Sonically, the track veers left (or should that be West?) of Snoop Dogg's BUSH LP, digging into deep synthesizer funk rather than the filagreed Pharrell funk that's been his bag recently. We're not complaining one bit, though, as "Back Up" comes across like a mothership space laser from Snoop's home planet. It's like LBC launched itself beyond the Milky Way and then sent back a few transmissions for us to get down to.

Listen to the new joint "Back Up" below, and if you're lucky enough to be in South America next spring, check out Snoop Dogg's tour itinerary, which includes stops in Colombia, Brazil, and Chile. Tickets are on sale here.
