With a new worldwide multi-album joint-venture partnership with platinum-selling hip-hop rap artist/actor/entrepreneur/football coach/icon Snoop Dogg, KOCH Records is excited.

The first release under this partnership arrives just in time for the holidays. KOCH Records will release Snoop Dogg Presents "Welcome To Tha Chuuch Tha Album" on December 13th, 2005. This album follows on the heels of rap artist Snoop's super-successful "Welcome to Da Chuuch" mix-tapes (of which there have been 7 successful volumes to date).

The new album features brand new music from The Dogg Pound Fam, including DPGC (Dogg Pound Gangsta Clique), with additional participation from west coast hip-hop and rap heavy hitters Nate Dogg, Kurupt, Lady Rage, Daz Dillinger and up-and-comers Tiffany Foxxx, RBX, Soopafly, Half-Dead, Mira-Mira, Mykestro with participation of course from Snoop on many of the albums key jointz.

Power 106/Los Angeles have already jumped on board and have begun spiking one the new album's soon-to-be classics, "Real Soon," from DPGC.

Snoop Dogg released his highly-anticipated solo album "Snoop Dogg R&G: Rhythm & Gangsta The Masterpiece" in November 2004. The first single off the album, "Drop It Like It's Hot," created tremendous buzz on the radio and in the streets, remaining in the Top 5 on the Billboard charts and at #1 on Urban radio for several weeks. "Drop It Like It's Hot," helped position the album to be a huge chart topping success.

Another recent venture for Snoop is the creation of the Snoop Youth Football league, a project that is close to his heart. The SYFL is a youth football league aimed at kids who otherwise couldn''t afford to play in other organized youth leagues. In addition to being an icon in hip hop, Snoop is accomplished as an actor, MTV show host, and sneaker designer launching the line, doggy biscuitz by Pony.

The hip-hop rapper is staying on the grind for sure.

Watch for "Welcome To Tha Chuuch Tha Album" on December 13th, 2005 released thru KOCH Records.
