Timberlake and Gap Band founder Charlie Wilson team up for "Signs," while Wilson is the sole guest on "Perfect." Lil Jon and Trina appear on "Step Yo Game Up," and 50 Cent raps on "Oh No." Nelly lends a hand on penultimate track "Girl Like U."


"Drop It Like It's Hot" is currently at No. 4 on Billboard's Hot 100 singles chart. Snoop and Pharrell will perform the track Nov. 14 on ABC's broadcast of the American Music Awards.


Meanwhile, Snoop has remixed the Doors' classic "Riders on the Storm" for the in-game soundtrack to "Need for Speed Underground 2," which hits stores Nov. 15 via Electronic Arts. He will also perform the track on the Nov. 6 Spike TV special "Need for Speed." The game sports a wealth of other new tracks from the likes of Queens Of The Stone Age, Capone, Xzibit, Mudvayne and Chingy.


On Nov. 28, Snoop will host MTV2's "Sucker Free Sunday," comprising a half-hour concert special and videos from his hip-hop colleagues. Additionally, a headlining tour in support of "Masterpiece" is in the works, with a likely start date of February 2005.


The new album is the follow-up to 2002's "Paid Tha Cost To Be Tha Bo$$" (Doggy Style/Priority), which debuted at No. 12 on The Billboard 200. It has sold 1.2 million copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
