Zack Bryan recently revealed that he doesn’t want to be known as strictly a country musician, and as if his prayers have been answered, an upcoming collaboration with Snoop Dogg is already in the works.
On Thursday, October 17, 2024, the 52-year-old rapper revealed on Today that he and the I Remember Everything singer-songwriter have been collaborating on a project for a while now. “Zach sent me a song; I gotta put a verse on it,” he noted.
Snoop added that he is inspired, by seeing Bryan with “the boss”, Bruce Springsteen.
He went on to pass comments about Bryan’s recent conversation with the “Born to Run” icon for Rolling Stone, in which the younger musician explained why he doesn’t like to be labeled under any given genre.
“I want to be a songwriter, and you’re quintessentially a songwriter,” Bryan told Springsteen at the time.

“No one calls Bruce Springsteen; hate to use your name in front of you; but no one calls Bruce Springsteen a freaking rock musician, which you are one, but you’re also an indie musician, you’re also a country musician. You’re all these things encapsulated in one man. And that’s what songwriting is.”
Springsteen agreed that Bryan has potential beyond the country landscape, telling the “Something in the Orange” artist he sees “so much, and I don’t want to call it rock, just energy in your performance.”
“You bust all those different genre boundaries down,” Springsteen added in the Musicians on Musicians feature.
Snoop Dogg is one of music’s most versatile duet partners, guesting on songs with everyone from Katy Perry to Bruno Mars, Mariah Carey, Benny Blanco and BTS, Jason Derulo, Akon, The Pussycat Dolls and more.
Most recently, he worked with some artists on the soundtrack for Peacock’s film, Bosco.
