“Let It Run,” the latest single from the Zac Brown Band featuring Snoop Dogg, boldly merges country and rap while adding a comedic flair to the celebration of marijuana culture. Set to release ahead of their upcoming album “Love & Fear,” this track is a testament to the band’s willingness to explore new musical territories and integrate various personalities in one song.
The lyrics cleverly embrace cannabis themes with a lighthearted tone. Zac Brown delivers smoking etiquette advice, while Snoop Dogg, a longstanding figure in weed culture, infuses the song with his signature rapping style, even addressing responsible consumption in his verses. The catchy chorus includes a humorous reference to allowing a poorly burning joint to continue, encapsulating the carefree spirit of the song.
Co-written by Zac Brown, Snoop Dogg, Chris Gelbuda, John “WidowMaker” Wilkerson, and Andy Frasco, the single spotlights the collaborative effort that brought this unique blend to life. Frasco, known for his own weed-themed music, expressed his excitement on social media, recalling how surreal it was to work with such prominent figures in the industry.
The release marks a refreshing comeback for the Zac Brown Band after a four-year hiatus, enhancing their over ten-year legacy in the music scene. While the fusion of hip-hop and country might polarize some traditionalists, “Let It Run” is poised to become a favorite at cannabis culture events and among fans who appreciate genre blending.
This song not only highlights the creativity of the artists involved but also serves as an anthem for those celebrating summer and cannabis culture, potentially bridging gaps between diverse musical audiences.
