Le’Veon Bell to Drop Colabb Track with Snoop Dogg

You can’t say Le’Veon Bell hasn’t been keeping himself busy since suffering a season-ending MCL injury last season. The Steelers running back has spent the majority of this offseason either showing off his rehabilitated knee – by way of sick hops at pickup basketball games – or dropping hip hop tracks under his nickname “Juice.” Now, the young star is set to drop a collaborative track with rap legend and Steelers superfan Snoop Dogg.

In an interview with TMZ Sports, Tha Dogg announced the track was “already done” and promised it will be “dope as f***.” Snoop, who has an album of his own due out mid-2016, was only too happy to lend his voice for a track on Bell’s own mixtape, a follow-up to his debut project, The Interview. “I wouldn’t have done it if it wasn’t any good,” added the west coast MC.

After seemingly going into hiding for a long period following his injury, Bell returned to the public eye with a series of hip-hop singles in the lead up to his free-to-download mixtape.

The tape featured ten tracks: a wild, conjunctive mix of solid trap and acoustic tunes, smooth features from assorted underground rappers and Bell’s family-friendly brand of indistinct braggadocio.

Being a role model to young fans (and one year removed from a DUI charge) perhaps Bell made the wise decision to not touch the subject matter that typically propagates this genre of music. But the tape was a fun listen nonetheless. Shortly afterwards, he dropped his best work yet – a song called “On A Mission” – chronicling his rehab and shouting out his haters with witty lines and punchy delivery over a minimalistic beat.

If this upcoming track with Snoop is even halfway decent, look for it to become an anthem of sorts among Steeler Nation if the Black & Gold can get on another roll in 2016.
