Technically Therapeutic, Unquestionably Snoop
In the expanding universe of wellness content, guided meditation has taken many forms—soothing voices, ambient soundscapes, and the occasional Tibetan singing bowl. Few, however, have dared to fuse mindfulness with West Coast hip-hop vernacular. But in 2019, Snoop Dogg—never one to be tethered by conventional genre boundaries—entered the mindfulness industry with a project that can only be described as simultaneously tranquil and profoundly Snoop.
Officially titled “Let’s Get Inner: A Guided Thizzought Journey with Snoop,” the album featured a succession of calming audio tracks designed to help listeners achieve inner peace, emotional balance, and possibly a contact high from nothing but sound. Each track opened with seagulls and gentle ocean waves before segueing into Snoop’s unmistakable drawl, encouraging listeners to “inhale positivity” and “exhale all the hateration.” Phrases like “you are the master of your own chill” and “ride the vibe, don’t fight the tide” appear repeatedly, often punctuated by a strategically placed “fo shizzle.”
One standout track, titled “Breathe In, Boss Up,” offers an eight-minute breathing exercise punctuated by interludes where Snoop reminds listeners that they’re in control of their own destiny and also that “real Gs meditate in silence, just like lasagna.” The reference is never explained further.
Unclear whether it was a parody, a genuine contribution to the wellness space, or a hybrid of both, the album was initially released exclusively on a now-defunct wellness app co-founded by a former yoga instructor and two retired music producers who reportedly met Snoop at a silent disco.
Despite being largely overlooked by the broader mindfulness community, the album developed a small but devoted cult following. A subreddit dedicated to the project includes testimonials from users who claim the recordings helped them quit vaping, survive holiday dinners with extended family, or simply find spiritual alignment after watching seven hours of Netflix.
As of today, “Let’s Get Inner” is a rare digital artifact—impossible to find on major streaming platforms, though enterprising fans occasionally circulate .zip folders via encrypted cloud links titled with names like “Snoothfulness_v3_final_FINAL.zip.” Whether intended as a sincere offering or just another delightful ripple in Snoop Dogg’s genre-defying career, the album remains one of his most unexpected ventures—and one of very few meditation projects to include the word “funkalicious.”
