What do you get when you cross the West Coast’s smoothest legend with alt-pop’s haunting rebel? Apparently, the song of the summer—and maybe the decade.
In one of the most unexpected and hypnotic collaborations in recent memory, Snoop Dogg and Billie Eilish have just dropped the music video for their genre-bending single “LA Haze” — and it’s already being called the new anthem for a city forever caught between dreams and decay.
The track debuted under Billie’s VibeX Sessions, blending West Coast hip-hop with lo-fi, neo-soul melancholy. The beat is slow and simmering, like a midnight drive down Sunset Boulevard. It doesn’t rush — it drips, fades, glows.
“Back when the streets whispered dreams in your ear / Now it’s all neon and silence out here…”
— Snoop Dogg
“Can’t see the stars through the LA haze / But I still stay, I still stay…”
— Billie Eilish
Snoop’s verses ride cool and easy, filled with faded memories and street poetry, while Billie’s breathy, echo-drenched hook floats like fog — equal parts ghost and grounding. On paper, it shouldn’t work. On headphones? It’s flawless.
The Visual Story: Moody, Minimal, Magnetic
Directed by Nabil Elderkin, the music video is a noir-tinted dreamscape.
-
Billie drifts alone in a vintage Mustang through Mulholland’s mist, her voice barely above a whisper.
-
Snoop watches from a Long Beach rooftop, city lights twinkling behind him like dying stars.
-
Flashbacks of old Hollywood signage, alleyway graffiti, and faded tattoos paint a picture of a city always moving, always forgetting.
-
The video ends at Griffith Park at sunrise. No dialogue. Just the two of them watching the haze lift — the most LA ending possible.
“It’s LA. Beautiful, broken, bright… and ours,” Snoop reflects in a behind-the-scenes clip.
