Details surrounding Snoop Dogg’s upcoming Malice In Wonderland album have landed online that show the West Coast rap veteran linking with R.Kelly, Soulja Boy Tell Em, Gucci Mane and more for the new project.

According to an exclusive listening session with VIBE, the rapper has hooked up with a variety of artists for the solo album.

The selective track list–the project consists of a lean but filling 12 songs–includes contributions from R. Kelly, Soulja Boy, Lil Jon, Gucci Mane, Brandy and Pharrell. True to its title, the album’s sound and content are paradoxical, with Snoop at times rapping thuggery to Terrance Martin’s gun-click sound effects (“2 Minute Warning”) and elsewhere dedicating whole songs to his wife, Shante (the happy and sappy “Different Languages,” with Jazmine Sullivan). The West Coast legend also pays homage to California’s next generation. He gives a nod to Los Angeles’ burgeoning jerk dance moment with the Scoop Deville-produced “Wanna Rock,” and passes the baton to young’uns Problem and Nipsey Hussle on “Upside Down.”

Snoop recently mended his issues with Soulja Boy and paid homage to the rap newcomer.

“N*ggas was always hatin’ on a n*gga when he come out,” Snoop said in a video. “They hate on everybody. But when you see a n*gga really know what he doing and it’s your craft and you come hit after hit after hit, n*gga can’t do nothing but say ‘Man, I’m sorry for hating on you, you’se a real n*gga. You hear to stay.’ Soulja Boy, we come from two different worlds, we different generations and what not, but we come together right now to unite and show love — I apologize for all the hate that I had towards Soulja Boy, towards what he was doing in the beginning of his career — as a man, what I understand what this man is and what else he’s doing and how he’s doing what he’s doing, I support him, wrap my arms around him and love him. And I give him the same love I give my family members. So it’s all about bridging the gap and showing love.”

A confirmed release date for Malice In Wonderland has not yet been announced.
