Snoop Dogg Touch Away

G-funkers all over, get the gin and juice out because the Dogg is back. The prolific Long Beach native has released a new song titled “Touch Away” featuring October London, R&B crooner and frequent Snoop Dogg collaborator (check out their tracks “Go On”, “Revolution”, and “In the Name of Jesus”).

The new track also comes with the announcement of a new Snoop Dogg album on the way titled Death Row Summer. The last full-length project we heard from the G-funk rap legend was last year’s BODR, with standout features such as Nas, T.I., and The Game.

As one of the artists who dominated West Coast rap starting in the 1990s and brought it to a worldwide audience, Snoop’s legacy and impact as an artist is undeniable. From classic records to Doggystyle to brand deals and a guru-like surveillance of the current hip-hop game, Snoop has done it all. With “Touch Away” and a new album on the way, he is showing that he’s just as capable of doing it again.

On this track, Snoop uses plucky synths, shimmering melodies, and a simple kick-clap rhythm that is synonymous with a West Coast groove. London’s smooth and sultry vocals make for a soulful chorus, transitioning us with ease and swagger between Snoop’s trademark cool-as-can-be verses. His flow is untouched on this song, and he switches the flow around the second verse with more dexterity than Snoop has displayed on recent efforts.

Backed by classic G-funk synths, soaring high in the mix, Snoop plays the song out by claiming that “We done already took over the Metaverse, so now we back in the universe,” which is one of many sharp lines on the song.

Lyrics

[Intro: Snoop Dogg]
Yes
Death Row Records
What, y’all thought we was gone?
We back on
Uh, right back in your motherfucking ass
Twenty twenty twenty-two two two two
Yes, yes
Hand me that file
Let me light this shit up my nigga

[Verse 1: Snoop Dogg]
I gotta be, I gotta be a better me
Top dog, whole ‘nother Pedigree
Snoop Dogg, ain’t none of y’all ahead of me
I’m all peace, no beef, so I’ma let it be
Splitting backwards, sitting in front of a tree
I’m thinking back, this is right where I wanted to be
DPGC, feet in the sand as the dance on your TV
Yeah, I make this shit look organic
And this is from the most recognized on the planet
Damn it, and you haters can’t stand it
But can’t do nothing ’cause that’s just how I planned it
Back to the back, can’t follow my rap maze
Real hip hop come up out of them wack ways
I see you niggas been brainwashed
I’m cut from the cloth that is shit called hip hop
Don’t stop, won’t stop, nigga we shell-shocked
Slide in the six, oh that bitch is so hot
Death Row Records, yeah dog, we twist ’em
West Coast baby right back in your system

[Chorus: October London]
Been around the world
But yet I never changed
They know I’m just a touch away
Just a touch
Still in L.A (In L.A)
And running everything, yeah
Death Row is ’bout to change the game

[Verse 2: Snoop Dogg]
We ran a whole summer when the foam is sprayed
From Def Jam back to this Death Row lane
And now I’m in control so I call the shots
I’m sitting at the table, I run my own label
I-N-D-E-P-I-M-P
Groaner, owner, S-H-I-P
Told you, showed you to follow my blueprints
I see a lotta y’all tiptoeing my shoe-prints
Walk that walk and that view is yours
Two plus two plus three plus four
Private jets, sunsets at the door
Marble floors with pristine decor
This is the life I chose, rock on the roll
Pot full of gold, never sold my soul
Stay suited and booted, keep it in the cut with me
Just a touch away, that’s what you fuck with

[Chorus: October London]
Been around the world
But yet I never changed
They know I’m just a touch away
Just a touch
Still in L.A (In L.A)
And running everything, yeah
Death Row is ’bout to change the game

[Outro: Snoop Dogg]
Yeah, you better know it
Death Row Records
[?] tip over the metaverse
So now we back in the universe
Haha, Snoop Dogg
Featuring October London
My nigga Kenobi
You better dig that
Talk to ’em Freddie, yeah
Like that
We just a touch away, yeah
We just a touch away
We just a touch away
We just a touch away
