KAWS x Snopp Dogg- 2023

KAWS’ work with Snoop Dogg surfaced in 2023 with the 30th anniversary reissue of Doggystyle, part of Interscope’s “Reimagined” vinyl series. For the limited-edition picture disc (edition of 900), KAWS embedded a stylized Companion into the album’s desert-inspired landscape, its X-eyes floating in an atmospheric scene that balanced nostalgia with his own visual language.

The Picture Disc (2023)
The vinyl was housed in a minimalist sleeve embossed with the Interscope 30-year logo and came in signed and unsigned variants. Original retail ranged from $145 to $500 depending on the format, with the signed “ED X/100” artist series commanding the highest tier. Distribution was handled quietly through NTWRK and select Interscope channels. (1)

Availability & Collectibility
Since release, the discs have become sought-after, appearing on resale platforms for $300 to $4,000. Scarcity, combined with the intersection of KAWS’ art and Snoop’s hip-hop legacy, has elevated the edition beyond music merch into the realm of fine art collectibles. (2)

Why It Matters
This collaboration reinforces KAWS’ ability to insert his visual storytelling into major moments in music history. By reimagining Doggystyle through his own lens, he bridged a generational hip-hop milestone with contemporary art sensibilities.
