Snoop Dogg to perform on ‘One Life to Live’ NEW YORK (AP) — Snoop Dogg is bringing some street cred to “One Life to Live.” The 36-year-old rapper will make an extended cameo on the ABC soap opera to perform two songs from his new album, “Ego Trippin’,” at the Ultra Violet club in the town of Llanview, the network said Thursday.

Snoop’s episodes will air May 8 and May 9, and feature his re-mixed version of the show’s theme song. He will also act in scenes.

“I’ve been a fan of ‘One Life to Live’ since I was a baby,” said Snoop, who’s set to perform “Sensual Seduction” and “Life of Da Party.” “My momma always had it on the tube in tha crib growing up. The opportunity to change up the theme song and give it some of my flavor will make the show the Life of The Party.” Mary J. Blige, Nelly Furtado, Chris Botti, Erykah Badu, Timbaland and Keri Hilson have also performed on the show.
