Together, we always try to create magic, we’re having fun being creative, and everything about this product is really us.

 -Dr. Dre

Laid back.

Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg have officially released their canned cocktail, fittingly named after their 1994 hit song, "Gin & Juice".  Containing 5.9% ABV, the brand delivers a 4-pack for each of their four flavor options: apricot, citrus, melon, and passionfruit.

Snoop Dogg and Son Launch Gaming Company in Support of Minority Creators

Snoop Dogg and his son, Cordell Broadus, plan to pave an accessible lane for minorities in the gaming industry.  "Death Row Games" is now a studio for minority creators to design, develop, and publish content within the mega game Fortnite by way of its Unreal Editor.  

...And I keep saying 'show representation of the culture in these sectors,' versus us just being the talent. We wanted to make sure that we're part of the decision that's being made and more importantly tell these stories from diverse creators and focus on creatives in underserved communities. 

For the past 6 years, Snoop and Cordell have been quietly creating games, but have not published anything on a large scale.

Valentine's Day Edition- Time Warp...1973 : We Have Love | Amnesty ("OG" Sample / Snoop x Wiz Khalifa) #BlackHistoryMonth

Some people they live from day to day

never giving love or learning how to give...

"Fans of the exquisite, often never-before-released funk championed by Now Again Records are no stranger to Amnesty. Based in Indianapolis in the early 1970s, the group released only two obscure 45s in their recording career. Birthed from the same scene as the Ebony Rhythm Band (Soul Heart Transplant – NA 5011), Amnesty had a poltical edge similar to LA Carnival (Would Like To Pose A Question – NA 5009) and the hardest brass section since The Kashmere Stage Band (Texas Thunder Soul – NA 5023).

This previously unreleased anthology comes from the same sessions as “Free Your Mind”. In 1973 Amnesty recorded five hard, vocal funk numbers alongside some ballads and a handful of demos based around nothing more than guitar accompaniment. Only two songs were ever released; Amnesty’s biting, difficult-to-categorize prog/rock/soul/funk stretched far beyond Indianpolis’s bounds and the band didn’t have a label to take them to the next level.

Obviously influenced by, but by no means simply imitators of, the sound of early Parliament and Funkadelic, Amnesty also responds to the grooves of Earth Wind and Fire and Sly and The Family Stone in their own way. Finally made available thirty three years after they were recorded, these songs are funk arranged with dangerous complexity and performed with precision – arguably the most unique funk to originate from Naptown, and some of the best music of its kind." - Photo & article via Now-Again Records. ’. 

Circa 1973.

Amnesty has some of the most powerful cuts collectively I've heard.  You'll see more of them up here on ADDICTION.  I promise you.  Here's one of them.  The harmony.. the message.  Oh my.  Here's the Snoop x Wiz Khalifa x Currensy "OG" sample ... "We Have Love" by. Amnesty.

***UPDATE..Video Added.

As soon as I saw this I giggled. While, I am indeed a fan of ‘Party All the Time’ (which some visitors may be too young to know what that is)… I still giggled when I saw this. As PATT jammed... this one does too. Say what you want, but this man can make music. I promise it’s not what you expected.

Sn: All the other races of girls glorified but "black" {women} was just detached...just disregardful.  See that's the bullshit I be talking about.  I’ll save that for another post.

Yea.. you read that right.  Tupac was at Coachella.  Not physically... but in the form of a "hologram".  This isn't the first time I've seen this implemented on someone's performance set.. however.. they did a damn good job with this one.  It brings Joy and an Eerie feeling at the same time.  Peep for yourself..
