Snoop Dogg has said that Dr. Dre is working on new music for the Grand Theft Auto series, Rolling Stone reports, as well as adding that he's on board as a collaborator on some of the tracks. While Snoop has said that the new music is "connected to the GTA game that’s coming out," it's unclear whether the rapper is referring to a new entry in the series, or simply new music being added to GTA V.
"I do know he’s in the studio," Snoop Dogg said in an interview with Rolling Stone's Music Now podcast. "I do know he’s making great fucking music. And some of his music is connected to the GTA game that’s coming out. So I think that that will be the way that his music will be released, through the GTA video game."
When reached by Rolling Stone, Rockstar Games declined to comment on the remarks made by Snoop Dogg. While fans of the Grand Theft Auto series expect a sixth game will be released at some point, nothing has been officially announced by Rockstar at this stage.
It's possible that the new music by Dr. Dre, who hasn't released anything solo since Compton in 2015, will make an appearance in the upcoming Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - Definitive Edition, which is due to release on November 11 for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC. It's also a possibility that the music is destined for GTA V, which has continued to expand its ambitions for musical content in the last year.
