Snoop Dogg resurrects the Discman and makes you dance

The Doggfather is back with a song that smells of the West Coast. September 8, 2025, Snoop Dogg revealed Snoop Will Make You Dance on his official channel SnoopDoggTV.

One of the striking elements of the visual (clip) is the highlighting of the Discman, that iconic CD player from the 90s, which preceded the era of streaming and the internet. For some of today's youth, it's a discovery worthy of an archaeological artifact; for older generations, it's a nostalgic nod to the beginnings of modern Hip-Hop culture.

In recent years, we have seen a strong comeback of CDs and vinyls, which great artists no longer hesitate to bring back to the fore. Far from being simple collector's items, these supports become a means of diversify income in a market dominated by digital platforms. By bringing the Discman back into its visual universe, Snoop Dogg doesn't just evoke the past: it anticipates trends and paves the way for a wider and more tangible musical consumption.

Snoop Will Make You Dance, a single taken from Is It a Crime?, available to listen to below.

With an unstoppable hook:

“Snoop can make you dance, in the LBC, all night long”

, the Long Beach veteran proves he still knows how to get a crowd on its feet. More than just a song, it's a celebration of his legacy, a reminder that Snoop remains one of the most unifying artists in the rap game.

Produced by Battlecat, a faithful ally of the Californian scene, the track breathes funk, round bass and the laid-back atmosphere typical of the 90s at the Westcoast.

Through this piece, Snoop Dogg Long Beach is handed over (LBC) forward, to where it all began. Between homage to his territory and loyalty to the Death Row spirit, the rapper shows that he doesn't need artifice to make entire generations dance.

Snoop Will Make You Dance is part of the broader strategy of Snoop Dogg with Death Row Records, a label he took over and repositioned as a showcase for West Coast rap. The track is already making its mark on several Hip-Hop and club playlists, confirming the marketing genius of Snoop.

With Snoop Will Make You Dance, Snoop Dogg reminds us that it has lost none of its magic. Simple, effective and deeply rooted in its roots, this new banger immerses us in the essence of G-funk while speaking directly to fans: impossible to listen without moving your head.

Snoop Dogg, it's like a surprise box that you open with the same curiosity as a child: with each release, it doesn't just deliver a new song, but a true work of art.
