Snoop Dogg Finds His Protégé In New Zealand

Snoop Dogg finds his protégé in New Zealand.

Just one week before Snoop Dogg drops his new album, the D-O-Double G introduces us to a new breed of talent (literally), Rico from Air New Zealand.

Working with some of the biggest names in the music industry including Dr. Dre, Justin Timberlake and Katy Perry, international hip-hop sensation Snoop Dogg finally found a perfect protégé in Rico, a rising star from down under.

Air New Zealand’s furry mascot, who is known for his infamous and exceptionally flirty viral ads promoting the airline’s new Skycouch, was recently flown to Los Angeles to lay down the rhymes on a new hit track with Snoop, a week before the release of the Dogg's new album, set to drop on Monday, March 28th.

With Rico’s legendary Kiwi charm and Snoop’s West Coast swagger, "Hello Sunshine" promises to raise to the top of the charts making it the international hit of 2011!
