Snoop Dogg Narrates Ty Dolla $ign & Post Malone’s ‘Spicy’ Wild West Video
Ty Dolla $ign is a man on a mission in the Wild West video for his Post Malone collab “Spicy.” With Snoop Dogg along for the (horse) ride to narrate a tale of redemption and revenge after the Stick-Up Kids snag Ty’s money, clothes and girlfriend, the visual splits the difference between dusty trails and future tales.
