Back in October of 2014, the Gorillaz were rumored to be making their return by creating a new album. Despite the initial release date, the Gorillaz apologized to their fans by announced that the album will now be released in 2017.
The latest news about Gorillaz's album comes from Pos of De La Soul who let is slip that Snoop Dogg would be featured on the new album.
“It comes when we feel we’ve got something that would be a great match for an artist. With Damon, it was easy because we love working with him,” said Pos. “”We’re about to be on the new Gorillaz album. Snoop was also performing on the record when we were over there. He pulled us to the side and said: “Hey man, we’ve never worked together, can we get this going?” Usually the lawyers will say: “You can pay this artist or maybe we can swap?” and then it goes from there.”
