Neva Left

Snoop’s dipping his diamond-encrusted cup into the fountain of youth. The rapper/entrepreneur shows his versatility on *Neva Left*. From classic G-funk to reggae, trap to hyphy to R&B, Snoop is always in the cut—his distinct drawl shapeshifting to whatever style he chooses. The instant club classic “Trash Bags” describes a typical night out with Snoop. For old-school rap fans, he references the Golden Age on “Moment I Feared,” “Big Mouth,” and a lovely cover of Biz Markie’s “Vapors.”

As Snoop cruises on into his Cool Uncle entrepreneur phase, the title of his very enjoyable 15th studio album, Neva Left, is, nevertheless, pretty accurate.
