Detroit, we got one today. Snap Dogg — one of the city’s biggest drill voices — drops his new Michael Jackson-inspired single “Michael” today, Friday, November 6, 2026. He built his sound independently and stayed independent, and this release is a proud moment for the city that raised him.
He just sat down with Lalaa Shepard of The Progress Report for an in-depth conversation about beating the streets, fatherhood, staying sober, and his journey through Detroit’s hip-hop scene. He went from athlete and college student to music full-time, starting out as a hype man before developing his drill sound.
The conversation gets real, too. He reflects on losing his twin brother Bronco, on fatherhood — “If it wasn’t for my kids, I would be dead or in jail” — and why artists need to support each other more. He also talks about nearly signing to YSL, with Young Thug paying for his LASIK eye surgery, and co-signs from Chief Keef, Lil Durk, Lil Baby, and Young Thug.
That is Detroit on the rise — talent, truth, and staying true to yourself. Celebrate one of our own doing it his way.
