Cypress Hill’s B-Real,
legendary rapper Kid Frost and Oscar nominated actor Edward James Olmos have teamed
up with Snoop Dogg for his new video for "Vato."Directed
by Phillip Atwell, the video casts Snoop Dogg and B-Real as gang members who come
together as a show of solidarity.In
wake of violence in recent months in L.A., the short cinematic clip also aims
to promote a theme of unity between black and Hispanic people."It’s
about time we start to fight for each other rather than fighting against each
other,” Snoop Dogg said. "I have homies from all cultural backgrounds
and love all of my brothers, black and brown.""Vato,"
produced by Pharrell, is the lead single from Snoop’s highly anticipated
eighth LP The Blue Carpet Treatment which arrives in stores Nov. 21.The
album features production from Dr. Dre, Timbaland, Rick Rock, Pharrell and features
