Data Insight
Bush is a deliberate genre departure: a funk and disco record on which Pharrell Williams handles the primary production and serves as executive producer, with Chad Hugo contributing additional production, so the album reads more as a Snoop-fronted funk project than a traditional rap LP. Snoop writes and performs his own vocals across the record while leaning into sung and groove-driven cadences to match Pharrell's instrumentation. Guests reinforce the funk and soul lineage, with Charlie Wilson featured on 'Peaches N Cream,' Stevie Wonder playing harmonica on 'California Roll,' and Gwen Stefani appearing on 'Run Away.' Kendrick Lamar, Rick Ross, and T.I. add rap features that keep the album tethered to Snoop's hip-hop roots.
Snoop's thirteenth studio album, released May 12, 2015. Produced entirely by Pharrell Williams (with Chad Hugo on most tracks), Bush is a funk- and soul-influenced record that debuted at number thirteen on the Billboard 200. The album runs just 41 minutes and features Stevie Wonder, Charlie Wilson, T.I., Kendrick Lamar, Rick Ross, and Gwen Stefani.
