The anti-violence single was produced by Major Lazer and Ariel Rechtshaid, with vocals from Angela Hunte and Snoop’s wife Shante Broadus.
In a recent interview with Piers Morgan, Snoop Lion says the song was inspired by recent tragedies involving gun violence.
“I just felt like I had got to the point in my career and my life where I didn’t need guns in my life because I didn’t project that energy,” Snoop said. “I felt like I was positive and peaceful. At the same time, I kept hearing about all these school shootings and these people getting guns in their hands and not knowing what to do with them and just going on a rampage, so it really touched me and affected me to where I wanted to say something.”
Snoop Lion reggae debut album Reincarnated hit stores next month.
