Snoop Dogg and Zac Brown Band Cook Up 'Gangster Gumbo' with 'Let It Run'

In a delightful blend of genres, Snoop Dogg has teamed up with the Zac Brown Band for a new track titled "Let It Run," which the rap icon himself dubbed a "gangster gumbo." This country-rap mashup premiered with a surprise live performance during the band's concert in Los Angeles on July 21, where parts of the music video were also filmed.

Snoop, a pioneer of West Coast hip-hop, shared his excitement about the collaboration, emphasizing the seamless fusion of styles. He noted that the band approached him with a record that felt like a perfect fit, allowing him to stay true to his roots while blending his flair with their Southern sound. The result? A unique musical stew that bridges genres and brings people together, something Snoop believes is the essence of music today.

"Let It Run" is a laid-back ballad celebrating cannabis culture and will feature on the Zac Brown Band's upcoming album, "Love & Fear," set for release on December 5. This isn’t Snoop’s first rodeo in country music, though. He’s previously collaborated with legends like Willie Nelson and worked on tracks with artists like Ernest and Brad Paisley, proving that country and hip-hop aren’t as far apart as one might think.

Beyond music, Snoop is also making waves with a new campaign for Raising Cane’s, tied to their Chicken Finger Day on July 27. Rolling up in a Cadillac sleigh with a Christmas-in-July vibe, Snoop brings his signature charm to the fast-food chain’s holiday promotion, where customers snag a free chicken finger with every box combo. His personal connection to the brand and friendship with founder Todd Graves made this partnership a no-brainer.

Whether it’s mixing beats or dishing out chicken fingers, Snoop Dogg continues to cross boundaries with style, reminding us that music—and good food—can unite us all.
