Snoop Dogg and Slim Thug have inked deals with Star Trak, the label owned by multi-platinum producers the Neptunes. Snoop will drop an untitled solo album before the year is over.

The two albums come on the heels of Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo taking their burgeoning empire from Arista and hopping over to Universal, in a deal worth an estimated $3 million dollars.

Snoop's Star Trak debut will be released via his own label, Doggystyle Records. The highly anticipated major label debut from Houston, Texas staple Slim Thug will follow shortly after.

In related news, Snoop will be featured on the premiere of "Celebrity Blackjack." Snoop will be joined by such stars as Andy Dick, Jamie Kennedy, Eddie Griffin, Ben Stein, Rodney Peete and others, as they compete for a $100,000 donation, tournament style.

The winner of each episode advances to the sixth and final episode for a $100,000 purse, donated to the winner's choice of charity.

"Celebrity Blackjack" premiers July 5 on the Game Show Network (GSN).

This comes a few days late, but this is big news as Snoop Dogg is a major player in the rap game and Slim Thug is an up-and-coming rap star from Houston that has been on tracks like "Still Tippin" with Mike Jones and Paul Wall.
