An LA love letter gets the Long Beach seal of approval.
Alex Isley has brought Snoop Dogg into her song ‘Westside’. The new version came out on Friday 13 November through Free Lunch Records and Warner Records, and Apple Music credits the pair together on the single.
It’s a new chapter for an existing song. The original ‘Westside’ is on Isley’s album When the City Sleeps, and a stripped version followed in September, 24Hip-Hop reports.
The Music Universe describes the remix as a celebration of Los Angeles, with Snoop adding neighbourhood references to Isley’s hometown view over keys and funk guitar.
The two have history: both appeared on Dinner Party’s ‘Luv U’.
Why this matters: A Snoop feature still opens doors. For an R&B singer the heads already love, it’s a route to a much bigger crowd.
