The offices at the top of the Capitol Records building in Hollywood are home to some of Southern California's most awe-inspiring views. Through the glass that adorns the iconic edifice, you can see the plush landscape of some of the world's most lavish neighborhoods. But look a little farther and you can just as easily peer into the working class streets that birthed gangsta rap.

It's this dichotomous picture that provides a fitting backdrop for Snoop and his new label home high atop the landmark. As the Creative Chairman of EMI's newly reintroduced Priority Records, Snoop will oversee a hefty catalog of gangsta rap anthems (NWA, Eazy E, Master P, Ice Cube) that launched from the streets and infiltrated even the highest suites. The view also bodes well for Snoop's first order of business: his new album Malice In Wonderland. After all, it's these two very different worlds that Snoop pulls insiration from for his 10th solo outing. This intersection of "malice" and "wonder" combines for an exciting listen!
