As previously reported, Snoop Dogg has been rallying to fight the scheduled December 13th execution of Stanley "Tookie" Williams. At this stage in the process, only a clemency can save Tookie. California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has agreed to meet with Williams' defense team on December 8th to decide Tookie's fate.
Jamie Foxx, the Academy Award winning-actor/and now singer who played the role of Tookie Williams in the acclaimed film Redemption (which was based on Tookie's life story), has added a part to "Real Soon," the new single from DPGC (featuring Snoop, Kurupt, Daz & Nate Dogg).
The song will be featured on the upcoming album, Snoop Dogg Presents Welcome to Tha Chuuch - Da Album. Snoop is hoping that this new collaboration will create further awareness for Tookie's plight.

In an eerie aside, the scheduled day of Tookie's execution (December 13, 2005) coincides with both Jamie Foxx's birthday and the release of "Snoop Dogg Presents Welcome to Tha Chuuch - Da Album."
Jamie Foxx's album Unpredictable hit stores on December 20th.
SUICIDAL THOUGHTS?
An aspiring rap artist accidentally killed himself by firing off a pen gun at his head, apparently thinking it was jammed and would not work.
Steven Zorn had put the pen gun to his head and clicked before, but on the third try, the tiny silver pistol went off as the 22-year-old budding rap singer was drinking to celebrate an impending record deal. He died at a hospital.
The Nov. 18 shooting at Zorn's home in this rural village of 2,000, about 50 miles (80 kilometers) northeast of Dayton, Ohio, is believed to have been accidental, according to family, friends and law enforcement officials.
"Steven had a career and his dreams all ahead of him," said Zorn's mother, Lisa McCoy-Horn. She said she wants lawmakers to outlaw pen guns, which are small-caliber, single-shot weapons that resemble pens.
Zorn had taught himself to play the keyboard and record tracks using inexpensive software on his home computer. He tracked down rap artist Miracle in Georgia and urged the crunk artist to listen to a CD of his original recordings.
