American rapper Snoop Dogg has announced the release date of his album Algorithm, along with his next one for children, under his Def Jam label, reports Billboard.com.

The project which will be Snoop's 19th studio album, following April's 'From Tha Streets to Tha Suites' is called 'Algorithm'. It's coming in November, and it's "featuring a lot of big-name acts," Snoop told Fallon. This will mark the first time Snoop has released two studio albums in the same calendar year. He announced he will be also working on a Def Jam kids' album coming this year.

"I was a fan of Def Jam Records as a kid, and knowing the talent that they have over there and the opportunity that was waiting on me, I wanted to go over there and give a lot of opportunity to the artists over there to get some information, some wisdom and some guidance from me and then also develop some new acts and give some opportunity," he shared with Fallon about his new role at the legendary label. The Fugees Reunion Tour Announced in Celebration of the Legendary Hip-Hop Group’s 25th Anniversary of Their Hit Album ‘The Score’.

I'm over there for one reason: to get the music back poppin' and to make the people feel the way they're supposed to."
