Snoop Dogg‘s lockout of Death Row Records’ catalog on streaming services is finally over — Tha Doggfather’s linked with TikTok’s new music arm, SoundOn.
The exclusive welcome party will extend throughout the week on TikTok … before the legendary rap tunes return to traditional digital streaming platforms.
Snoop removed the Death Row catalog from streaming in March 2022 … and at the time, outlined a plan to have the music live on in its own metaverse within a full-functioning app.
Those plans appeared to have since fizzled. Dr. Dre recently threw a party to celebrate his own debut album, “The Chronic,” returning to streaming and its original label home of Interscope.
To compensate for the lulls, Snoop and TikTok went halfsies on a custom Death Row playlist … because not a day goes by without someone asking him to restore the catalog online.
“As the Super Bowl rolled around, I knew fans would be looking for the music from our iconic performance in 2022, so I wanted to reintroduce the most historic catalog to the people. I reached out to the folks at TikTok to make more history … enjoy ya’ll.”

The house that Suge Knight built pushed out classics such as Snoop’s debut “Doggystyle,” Tha Dogg Pound‘s history-making Billboard chart-topper “Dogg Food” and 2Pac‘s diamond-selling “All Eyez On Me.”
