Snoop(zilla) to groove with Dâm-Funk on collaborative LP
By Aly Barchi | Published on Thursday 17 October 2013
Oh for Dogg’s sake. Rap chameleon Snoop whatshisface has taken on another last-name alias, and it is: Snoopzilla.
Similar to his ‘Lion’ flirtation, which saw the rapper lose the ‘Dogg’ to chase his reggae-based dreams via this year’s ‘Reincarnated’, Snoop will now pose as Snoopzilla to convince as a collaborator of groovy cat Dâm-Funk, since ‘Snoopzilla’ is a play on iconic funk bassist Bootsy Collins’ nickname Bootzilla.
Thinking on his new incarnation, Snoop says: “We’re the babies of the Mothership. I’ve had funk influences in my music my whole career. Dâm-Funk is cold. He’s keeping the funk alive and I knew I had to get down with him”.
Dâm-Funk and Snoop… zilla, who collectively go by the name 7 Days Of Funk, will release an LP titled exactly that on 10 Dec, via the Stones Throw label. Hear one of its tracks, ‘Faden Away’, in a bit, and read up on the duet via Pitchfork.
