The single ‘Gorgeous’ has many of the hallmarks of a great Snoop song, with a mid-tempo beat and a euphoric chorus, sung by Aiko. In between, Snoop delivers lyrics that reference his own career and proclaim his rightful place as leader of the pack. Today the single arrived along with a lyric video. Check it out below.
Snoop will then perform a one-off performance in Lincoln, California on December 27. Buy tickets here.
