Hip-hop star, Snoop Dogg teams up with Air New Zealand’s mascot, Rico to lay down a banging track. Rico, whose risqué antics promoting the airline’s new Skycouch drew some complaints, joins Snoop in his studio to rap the track, “Hello Sunshine”.
Snoop Dogg comments, “Meet this guy [Rico] and you’ll understand why I wanted to work with him. He’s funny. He’s a little bit edgy and a little bit naughty, which is a nice change for an industry that is known for having some of the dullest marketing known to mankind.”
Meanwhile, Rico reveals that he is a huge Snoop Dogg fan and working with him [Snoop] is a dream come true. Rico have always dreamt of singing with lady Gaga or meeting Justin Beiber. “I love all kinds of music including Snoop Dogg, David Bowie, Chromeo and Stevie Wonder. They inspire me, and I have even written a song myself, Love Popsicle”, Rico added.
The “Hello Sunshine” music video features the followings lines…
[Rico]
Ladies, Rico’s here just off the plane,
Ready to take away all your pain.
We’re gonna cook a dish, made to savour
Come add your spice, don’t matter the flavour.
[Snoop]
Here I is, where my baby at tonight?
The big Dogg with the big bite.
Hello sunshine
Would you be mine?
From Cali to Kiwis,
We do it big in the New Zee
