Mogal & Teck Zilla serve up nostalgic vibes with “SNOOP”

Mogal’s latest single, “SNOOP,” featuring the legendary Teck Zilla, is smooth and a throwback to the good old days of hip-hop. From the first beat, we’re transported into an old-school world of breaks and swaggering flows, of a sound that is both laid-back and unerringly magnetic. There’s a grace to the way the track slips so naturally, the chilled grooves melting into biting percussion that bites through.

And what distinguishes “SNOOP” is the balance; it’s casual enough to vibe to on a lazy Saturday afternoon, yet textured enough to warrant repeat listens. Mogal’s delivery is accessible and self-assured, full of personality, and you have the feeling that the track has a human touch, that it’s a conversation rather than just a song. Teck Zilla himself does the track justice, adding a layer of matching energy that is just enough without overshadowing the laid-back foundation of the music.

The production is steeped in a warm retro palette of breaks and beats that vintage hip-hop heads will recognise immediately, but it’s new enough to feel utterly contemporary. Whether you are creating a chilled hip hop mix or just trying to find a song that takes you to the beginning and brings you to the present, “SNOOP” should do the trick. Put “SNOOP” in your playlists and just let that chilled out old-school vibe wash over you, and it’s the kind of release that you won’t shake loose for hours after the last beat fades into silence.

Mogal and Teck Zilla ‘let the stage’ on this one, and who knows what they have planned for conjuring in their next EP. It has a sound that draws attention without demanding it, making it a slow-burning yet subtle addition to any playlist. Big love, indeed, to the artists on one hand, but also, on the other, from the fans who are willing to surf these glossy, retro waves.
