Rapper and brain cancer survivor Sam Sneed will release his Death Row Records' album Street Scholars after a 14-year delay, via WIDEawake Entertainment, the company who acquired the legendary gangster rap label.
Sneed, who was featured on the track "Pump, Pump" on Snoop's classic debut release Doggystyle, also co-produced Dr. Dre's hits "Keep Their Heads Ringin'" and "Natural Born Killaz."
His career was sidelined in 1999, when he was diagnosed with a brain tumor.
"Sam has stayed true to the game. His production was brilliant back in the nineties; he has somehow managed to improve and take his brilliance to another level! This collection of music is completely put together by Sam and his team," said John Payne of WIDEawake Entertainment. Sam reached into the vault and pulled out some heat from his Death Row days and added some new fire from an arsenal of recently completed tracks. All tracks have been produced, mixed and conceptualized by Sam Sneed."
Since his diagnosis, Sam Sneed has remained busy, producing tracks for artists like Jay-Z ("Anything"), 50 Cent "I Smell P***y," Scarface "F**k'n With Face" and others.
The album will feature tracks like "U Better Recognize," "Lady Heroine," "Goin' Hollywood," "Drug Related" and 10 brand new tracks Sam Sneed recorded specifically for the release of album.
Street Scholars is due in stores on January 25th via WIDEawake Entertainment/E1.
