Snoop Dogg accepted a new position at Def Jam Recordings earlier this year as the iconic label’s Executive Creative and Strategic Consultant, a role allowing him to strategically work across the label’s executive team and artist roster. One of his first orders of business is to release The Algorithm on November 12, his inaugural album under the Def Jam venture. Ahead of its release, Snoop has been busy making the press rounds.

On Wednesday (October 27), Snoop stopped by The Breakfast Club to chop it up with Charlamagne Tha God, DJ Envy and Angela Yee. At one point during the conversation, Snoop was looking back on his Death Row Records days and revealed he actually helped pen Warren G’s 1994 debut, Regulate…G-Funk Era, in an effort to keep him safe from Suge Knight, who was Death Row’s CEO at the time.

“Like I said, my pen had something to do with that,” Snoop said. “We was trying to protect the homie from Suge Knight at the time, Suge was taking everything so we wanted to make sure Warren G had a dope record without him being able to get it, so we silently, me and Kurupt and a few others, went to work for Warren G to make sure that his record could be what it was.”
