Leave it Willie Nelson to proclaim “Roll me up and smoke me when I die” at the start of his latest
track, “Roll Me Up,” featuring famous stoner Snoop Dogg,
Kris Kristofferson and Jamey Johnson. Nelson conveniently released the song on 4/20, the unofficial
marijuana holiday.
O.G. stoner Nelson croons along with
Snoop on the country track, which features the West Coast rapper using his twangy voice. “Call my friends and tell them
there’s a party, come on by,” he sings, “Just roll me up and smoke me when I die.”
For an extra gimmicky kick, fans
can head on over to Willie Nelson’s website to listen to
the track and watch a digital blunt burn out.
Snoop and Nelson aren’t the only ones to have mastered the art of
crafting the perfect 4/20 song. Jimi Hendrix released “Purple Haze,” every stoner’s go-to track, in 1967, and nearly 10
years later, in 1976, Peter Tosh dropped the weed-smoking holiday’s anthem, “Legalize It.”
