Snoop Dogg is hoping his dulcet tones have the power to send people to sleep, as he's transformed his biggest hits into lullabies for a new album.

The rapper will drop Rockabye Baby! on 29 November to mark Record Store Day. The record will feature melodic renditions of Snoop's smashes such as Drop It Like It's Hot, Doggy Dogg World and Gin & Juice.

While Rockabye Baby! will initially be available only on vinyl, it will be released digitally the following week.

News of the unlikely venture comes after Snoop hosted a press conference in California on Wednesday to announce his upcoming I Want to Thank Me Tour – to celebrate his nearly three decades in the music business.

The trek will kick off on 5 December in Los Angeles.
