Snoop will help the remaining artists prepare for the Knockouts, making his first appearance in the Mega Mentor role on Monday, April 19.

As viewers of the long-running competition know, the Knockout Rounds consist of pairs of singers, each performing a song of their choosing. The coaches then determine select one person from each pair to move forward. Each coach can use one steal during the Knockouts, which allows them to pull discarded competitors from other teams onto their own.

The four artists who were saved during the Battle Rounds will compete in the Four-Way Knockout, receiving special guidance from Snoop Dogg and their coaches. Only one person will walk away from the Four-Way Knockout, and it’s up to America’s vote. Host Carson Daly will unveil the winner during the first Live Show of the season.
