He announced the remix to fans on his Instagram last week, who flooded his comments section with fire emojis. The mashup isn’t the first time “This Is New York” got a remix.

Recently, Scar Lip credited her famous supporters for the success she’s seen as of late. She discussed in her interview with VladTV how shoutouts from Boosie Badazz, Cardi B, and even Shaquille O’Neal boosted her career. “When Boosie reposted me, it felt like I had a shot,” she revealed. “That’s when motion started coming in. His push, [and] his co-sign, got me a lot of press…that shit helped my career a lot.” She went on to share her feelings on Cardi B posting her song on social media. “I couldn’t believe that..that post changed my life,” Scar Lip recalled, “I love her so much.” She went on to further praise Cardi, explaining, “She started from the bottom and raised her way to the top, [and] anybody that feels a way about that…you’re just weird. Everybody starts from the bottom. How could you not be inspired?”

The 22-year-old revealed how she got Snoop Dogg to collaborate with her in May. She shared screenshots of Instagram DMs between her and Snoop, where she writes, “Hey Snoop, I’m a big fan & love your music. I have a song called ‘This is New York,’ and wanted to know if you’d get on the remix.” After not receiving a reply, she followed up with “Hey Snoop you think u can get on my remix?” Snoop Dogg then told her, “F*ck yes,” and the rest was history.

Scar Lip also just recently signed to Epic Records.

Snoop Dogg & Scar Lip Show Us That “This Is Cali” On New Remix

by

In a stellar case of East Coast and West Coast bonding, Snoop Dogg and Scar Lip just joined forces for a killer remix. Moreover, the Long Beach MC added a verse to Lip’s viral track “This Is New York,” and of course, this time it’s “This Is Cali.” While the track only features one of the Bronx rapper’s original aggressive verses from its first iteration, the remix still shows off her incredible skills when it comes to flow, delivery, and impactful wordplay and phrasing. All in all, it’s quite the murderous and boastful song that harkens back to the gritty hip-hop of the ’90s and beyond.

What’s more is that this rejuvenation of older styles is becoming increasingly fused with more contemporary production techniques. For example, “This Is Cali” features a very crisp and sharp instrumental, with familiar boom-bap rhythms that are stripped back a little bit. In addition, there’s the addition of sliding bass that evokes some of the New York drill style that’s taken over the region as of late. Of course, the most standout part of this remix in comparison to the original is Snoop Dogg’s added verse. It’s been a while since we’ve heard the 51-year-old sound as menacing, focused, and emphatic as this.

We’re sure that there’s only more heat to come, whether on the East or West Coasts. For more news on the Bronx lyricist and the latest updates on Snoop Dogg, come back to HNHH.

In the streets, n***a, you was scared at home
