Extreme Music, the music production unit of Sony/ATV Music Publishing, has tapped Snoop Dogg to executive produce a multi-CD series of original music for film, TV and commercial projects, reports Billboard.biz.      

Titled "G Series," the music is expected to be in styles similar to Smoking Grooves, Gangster Party and Slow Jams. The first CD should be ready this fall.      

"When we decided to produce an urban series, we wanted it to be not only major league, but also 200 percent 'G,' with Snoop holding the reins," says Russell Emanuel, co-CEO of Extreme.      

"I'm excited to get in tha lab and cook up some heat," says Snoop.
