Why Did Snoop Dogg Make a Spoken Word Guest Appearance on a Country Track About Beer?

A perfectly normal collaboration between Snoop and a genre he has no known relation to


In 2021, Snoop Dogg’s contributions to music expanded into territory few anticipated: a guest verse (read: monologue) on the country drinking anthem “High Off My Supply” by Canadian duo The Reklaws and producer DJ Johnny Rivex. It is, as it sounds, a beer-soaked song grounded in rural traditions, only it’s interrupted midway by the unmistakable voice of Snoop Dogg casually reflecting on the joys of crushing brewskis.

Snoop doesn’t attempt to sing, nor does he rap, exactly. Instead, he delivers what can only be described as a chilled-out sermon on the virtues of kicking back with a cold one, set over honky-tonk beats and banjo melodies. There is no warning, no lead-in, no contextual justification—one moment you’re listening to a weekend anthem from two brothers in Ontario, and the next, Snoop Dogg is talking about how beer brings people together, like it’s a TED Talk sponsored by Coors Light.

There is no official explanation for this collaboration. Press materials offered few insights, and public statements were minimal aside from The Reklaws exuberantly sharing their excitement any time a camera was pointed in their direction. Whether it was an experiment, a dare, or a contractual mishap, the result is now immortalized on streaming platforms.

This is not Snoop Dogg’s first unexpected genre leap. But while reggae and gospel offered at least loose thematic continuity with his known musical interests, a country ode to alcohol consumption is not an adjacent lane—it is a dirt road several zip codes away. Snoop Dogg, however, delivers his part with such sincerity, such unbothered confidence, that it almost makes you question whether he has, in fact, always been involved in small-town beer culture.

No follow-up collaboration has surfaced, and Snoop Dogg has not yet appeared at the Country Music Awards. But the track remains—an artifact of an alternate universe in which West Coast rap and Canadian rural life overlap at the bottom of a beer can, narrated by a man who, for a brief moment, became the wise elder statesman of tailgate culture.
