0Snoop Dogg and Destructo ‘You Only Die Once’
The exciting new single with Snoop Dogg follows previous rap-fueled collaborations by Destructo with artists such as Kevin Gates, Yo Gotti, Denzel Curry, Ty Dolla $ign, and more.
Destructo is one of the most influential players in electronic music, having founded HARD in 2007 and spurring the G-house movement of the 2010s via collaborations with rappers like YG, Ty Dolla $ign, Kevin Gates, and Denzel Curry. “You Only Die Once” adds to Destructo’s already indomitable legacy, with the track seeing him team up with one of hip-hop’s most important figures.
A spiritual successor to “Y.O.D.O” (a 2018 collaboration with Grammy-nominated producer Chris Lake), “You Only Die Once” fuses its bass-heavy house beat with smooth, buttery flows from Snoop Dogg – a combination that results in an unprecedented matchup between two music titans.
“You Only Die Once” follows the release of Destructo’s February EP, Future Funk– a four-track, 80s-nightclub-inspired project featuring dance icons such as TroyBoi and Chromeo.
About the collaboration, Destructo states, “What a dream come true to finally have a G-house record with the one and only Snoop Dogg – I’ve been a fan since “Deep Cover,” his debut collaboration with Dr. Dre in 1992.”
Fun Fact: The two artists go way back, with Snoop Dogg playing the entirety of his album Doggystyle at HARD Summer in 2017 (which was a festival founded by Destructo).
