Snoop Dogg has signed a deal to release his next album , 'Malice In Wonderland', through MTV.

The rapper, who recently left Interscope Records, has worked with Pharrell Williams, Dr Dre and composer Lalo Schifrin on the record.

A spokesman for MTV said details of how the entertainment giant will release the album will be announced shortly, although no financial terms of the deal were made public.

At least one track from Snoop will appear on the game Rock Band in the near future and the rapper will also be hosting his own variety show, Dogg After Dark, on MTV from later this month.

'Malice In Wonderland' is the follow up to 2008's 'Ego Trippin'.
