Produced by rapper SonaOne, the track will serve as the official theme song for the Johor Southern Tigers.
In a statement, JDT owner Crown Prince of Johor Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim said: “Having a phenomenal hip-hop legend like Snoop Dogg to perform JDT’s 2022 official theme song with our Johorean artiste Joe Flizzow is truly an amazing collaboration.”
The track came together as part of a collaboration between Universal Music Southeast Asia and Def Jam Recordings SEA, where Joe serves as managing director.
