Snoop Lion, fresh off teaming up with Mashable for a Twitter chat Q&A, has unleashed his somber "Ashtrays and Heartbreaks" music video, featuring Miley Cyrus.
Together, they rap and sing about filling up ashtrays, with the remnants of whatever they're smoking, to cope with the loss of loved ones.
"Ashtrays and Heartbreaks" is the first single from Snoop's new Reincarnated album, which debuted in April at number 16 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.
Some people scratched their heads in confusion at the unlikely collaboration between Snoop and Cyrus when the song premiered online in April, and even funny gal Ellen DeGeneres jokingly renamed the songstress as Miley Siberian Tigress.
When the song arrived on Soundcloud in April, it attracted 1 million plays in 24 hours. It now has 1.5 million listens. The song gained exposure on Twitter from both artists in the past weeks.
