Snoop Dogg joins Zac Brown Band on stage in surprise LA appearance
Country music fans got a taste, and smell, of hip-hop at the Zac Brown Band’s Los Angeles show on July 21.
During a small set at Hollywood’s Desert 5 Spot lounge, Snoop Dogg made a surprise appearance on stage, staying true to his public persona by wearing sunglasses and smoking a blunt.
Video shared on social media shows the rap legend jamming alongside the Atlanta-based group before pulling out a golden microphone.
Alongside Zac Brown, Snoop performed their new collaborative track “Let It Run” less than a week after its release. Several dancers wearing cowboy hats accompanied the artists with synchronized choreography.
One audience member posted the surprise duet on her Instagram Story with a caption reading “Collab of the century.”
Snoop later joined the group backstage to take photos that he shared on Instagram.
Surprise performance to be part of music video
The live duet may have been a fun surprise for those at the Desert 5 Spot lounge, but fans elsewhere will get to experience the moment themselves later.
The band told audience members that they were filming a music video, according to Complex, presumably for the song “Let It Run.”
The track dropped on July 18 as part of the group’s upcoming “Love & Fear” album, which is set to be released on Dec. 5.
To celebrate the new record, the group has announced a brief stint of shows at the Las Vegas Sphere.
“It’s my masterpiece so far. This show is the story of my life that I have never shared, a journey through my imagination, music and stories that have defined who I am. All of this brought to life in the incredible immersive environment of Sphere,” Brown wrote on Instagram. “It will be a unique experience where you can really feel every note, every word, right there with us.”
General tickets for the four concert dates will go on sale July 25 at 10 a.m. PT. A presale for the band’s Premium Zamily members opened on July 21.
