Snoop Dogg transformed cannabis culture and Hip-Hop nostalgia into high-end art by teaming with visual artist Erica Kovitz for a Beverly Hills gallery show featuring his smoked blunt roaches preserved as collectibles.
The project, titled Rich N Infamous: The Joint Venture, debuts in June 2025 at 9891 S. Santa Monica Blvd and showcases a series of pigment panel pieces embedded with the remnants of Snoop Dogg’s personal blunts.
Each work is encased in plastic and chrome proxy, infused with cannabis residue and signed by the rap icon himself. The collaboration merges Hip-Hop memorabilia with contemporary art, offering buyers a literal piece of the West Coast legend’s lifestyle.

Kovitz preserved the roaches in acrylic and mounted them on pigment panels to create a visual and aromatic experience.
The gallery display marks a new chapter in celebrity collectibles, where personal artifacts meet fine art.
The idea of turning used blunt ends into gallery-worthy items may raise eyebrows, but it’s also a reflection of how cannabis and Hip-Hop have evolved into cultural institutions.
