7 Days Of Funk
7 Days of Funk is the only studio album by California-based funk duo 7 Days of Funk, consisting of rapper Snoop Dogg—performing under his funk persona Snoopzilla—and modern-funk musician Dam-Funk. A G-funk album, it was released on December 10, 2013, by Stones Throw Records. Recording sessions for the album took place in 2013 at The Compound and at Funkmosphere Lab in Los Angeles, and the mastering was performed at Bernie Grundman Mastering in Hollywood.
After Snoop Dogg and Dam-Funk first met at an exhibition and performed in 2011, they recorded a session together with the track “Hit Da Pavement”. After Snoop Dogg was impressed by the track, he and Dam-Funk recorded multiple tracks within a short timeframe, evolving into a studio album. Giving each other creative control, Dam-Funk and Snoop Dogg took significant influences from funk, including various musicians such as Zapp, Rick James, and Funkadelic.
Guest appearances on the album include Tha Dogg Pound members Daz Dillinger and Kurupt, and former Slave frontman Steve Arrington. In promotion of the album, Snoop Dogg and Dam-Funk released the lead single "Faden Away", the promotional single "Hit Da Pavement", performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Conan, and The Queen Latifah Show, and released four music videos. 7 Days of Funk received generally positive reviews from music critics for the duo’s chemistry, production, and a contemporary perspective on the funk genre. Commercially, the album appeared on five Billboard charts, with its greatest performance being at number two on the Heatseekers Albums chart.
