Dr. Dre Nerds Up And Drops A Beat for Zynga's Mafia Wars

Zynga and Dr. Dre have partnered to bring the sounds of the real streets to the digital streets of Mafia Wars. Holla if you hear me!

Zynga Inc., producers of the addicting Facebook game Farmville, have announced their first in-game music partnership with West Coast Hip-Hop icon Dr. Dre. Players of Zynga’s Mafia Wars will be able to view Dr. Dre’s new music video, “Kush” featuring Snoop Dogg and Akon, while it streams for free during Mafia Wars gameplay. The announcement comes just weeks ahead of the planned release date for Dr. Dre’s hotly-anticipated Detox album.

The partnership signals a melding of two staggeringly popular online activities: gaming and enjoying music.
