Rising Sacramento rapper Mozzy and Houston O.G. Trae Tha Truth are teaming up for a joint album titled Tapped In, which drops next Friday (Dec. 16) via ABN/Mozzy Records/EMPIRE and is available for pre-order. They recently released "Ground Rules" featuring Snoop Dogg, their newest single from the project. The new song finds the three MCs spittin' about their street credentials.

"Me and Snoop always had a close relationship, that's family," Trae explained in a recent interview.  "With me and Mozzy making an album together, we're connecting the South and West Coast real heavy so it was only right to get the father of West Coast gangsta music, Snoop Dogg, on a song."

How did Mozzy and Trae link for Tapped In? The H-Town vet spoke on that too.

"We're both solid as they come," Trae said. "We're genuine dudes from the streets so we relate in so many ways, we're just from different area codes and parts of the globe. We made the album in L.A. and did most of the songs at [producer of 'Ground Rules' June Onna Beat's house. We got in his studio for a couple of days and were knocking out tracks back-to-back."

"Ground Rules" is the second single following "Errbody On Go." Bump the new song above.
