London duo SNAKEHIPS (James and Ollie), best known for their genre-defying productions; have teamed up with KYLE, and Weezer frontman RIVERS CUOMO to deliver the game-changing ‘Gucci Rock N Rolla’, a progressive evolution of their trademark hip-hop sound.
SNAKEHIPS first started working on the record in March 2018, with Ollie adding;
.
“We decided to try something completely different. James are I are huge Weezer fans, so it was just crazy that someone we respect so much (Rivers Cuomo) was really into our vibe.”
.
With the duo adding Ventura-based rapper KYLE; who names Weezer as his favourite band; to their long-time wishlist of potential collaborators, their ambition became reality via a meeting in Hollywood.
.
“We’ve always made crazy collaborations…” said Ollie. “But this is definitely the wildest one yet!”

Led by a surf-rock feel, ‘Gucci Rock N Rolla’ is accompanied by a video which sees the duo dripping in Gucci in a Napoleon Dynamite inspired high school. Blessed with their sun-kissed Californian influences, the track is a result of the duo’s sonic inspirations; manufactured in both their homeland of London, and the Golden State.
Having previously collaborated with artists like; Chance The Rapper, Anderson Paak, MØ, Anne-Marie and Joey Bada$$, James & Ollie list acts like Aaliyah and SWV as their musical influences. Performing across the United States in 2018 with their 7-date tour; the duo also performed to thousands at Coachella, and are already pencilled in for EDC Mexico 2019.
SNAKEHIPS continue to demonstrate their dynamic diversity in the studio, amassing over 1 Billion streams across all platforms.
