‘Call of Duty’ Celebrates 50 Years of Hip Hop

Activision’s “Call of Duty: Warzone” and “Modern Warfare II” are adding new playable characters to the roster to celebrate 50 years of hip-hop.   

Owner of Death Row Records, Snoop Dogg, Nicki Minaj and 21 Savage have been announced as the new operators landing in the “Call of Duty” franchise.   

As part of the free content and special bundles available in Season 5, the playable characters come with an updated track list featuring hip-hop music throughout the ‘80s, ‘90s and 2000s for those logging in at separate intervals from Aug. 7-16.   

These licensed appearances mark the second tour of “Call of Duty” for Snoop Dogg, a debut for 21 Savage, and Minaj has reportedly become the franchise’s first self-named female operator.
