Snoop and Franz set for duet

Rapper Snoop Dogg has said he’d like to collaborate with Franz Ferdinand - and the Scottish band’s singer Alex Kapranos has accepted the invitation to join him in the studio.

Earlier in the month Snoop was quoted in an interview as saying that he wanted to collaborate with Franz Ferdinand. "I'm working on an album that I plan to do with a lot of European artists. I wanna do something with the people that sang ‘Take Me Out’," said Snoop.
