Snoop Dogg Planning Johnny Cash Cover For Next Album

US rapper Snoop Dogg is reportedly planning on covering Johnny Cash on his next album in a bid to prove that the late singer was a ‘gangster’.

"I'm still trying to find a Johnny Cash (song) I can have fun with," the rapper said. "To me, Johnny Cash is a rapper. His shit was dope, a lot of rappers don't know that.”

The rapper added that Cash’s 1969 song ‘A Boy Named Sue' – which has been covered by a number of artists, including, Joshua James – already “sounds gangster."

Snoop Dogg’s next album ‘Ego Trippin’’ is scheduled for released in March next year. The single, ‘Sensual Seduction,’ will precede the album.
