West Coast heavyweights Snoop Dogg and Kurupt reconnect on new single “Neighbors”, out now via Death Row Records/gamma. Built around a hard hitting G funk groove, the track is a salute to neighbourhood pride, Los Angeles history and a friendship that has stretched across more than three decades.
Kurupt takes things back to the late 80s and early 90s, weaving references to Crenshaw, Slauson, Second Avenue and Arlington into verses steeped in the places and people that shaped him. Snoop matches that energy with his unmistakable West Coast presence, their chemistry making “Neighbors” feel less like a reunion and more like two veterans picking up exactly where they left off.
The single follows Kurupt’s recent DJ Battlecat produced project Tales From My Hood, an 11 track release featuring appearances from Snoop Dogg, D Smoke, Charlie Bereal and more. “Neighbors” continues that run while keeping Kurupt firmly connected to the G funk foundations that helped define his career.
