DJ Premier and Snoop Dogg Spread Some California Love on New Song ‘Can U Dig That?’


DJ Premier has tapped Snoop Dogg for his latest single, 'Can U Dig That?' an ode to all things California.

The track is a potent, laid-back ode to all things West Coast, centered around a classic Preemo scratch sample — “Welcome to California… life is a bitch out here.” Over a beat that blends classic boom-bap with hazy, droning synths and sultry keys reminiscent of the G-funk heyday, Snoop delivers a characteristically cool verse that name-checks a bunch of his fellow Golden State hip-hop pioneers. Snoop Dogg, meanwhile, has dropped a handful of tracks, like “Gettin’ Jiggy Wit It” (seriously) with David May and “Love You More” from the Bosco soundtrack. He’s also been working on a new album with Dr. Dre — a follow-up of sorts to his classic Dre-produced debut, Doggystyle — which the pair said was close to being finished during a recent interview with Jimmy Kimmel.
