Nathan ‘Doggface’ Apodaca, who rose to fame on TikTok sharing videos of himself skateboarding to Fleetwood Mac, has made his rapping debut.
Less than two years after first going viral, the 37-year-old social media star released a track, titled Low Rider, featuring Snoop Dogg and War.
The music video, which includes cameos from George Lopez, Cheech and Chong, Princess Love and Dr. Miami, reportedly had a $300,000 budget.

A source told TMZ that Snoop Dogg, 50, snagged a whooping $100,000 for his work on the track, while the rest of the money went to production.
It is set to be released on April 20, known as Weed Day, and was ‘filmed over four days, partly at Snoop’s compound and the rest at a Burbank studio.’
In a teaser for the video, Doggface rocks a bright orange t-shirt, gold chain and can be seen walking into a building before going on a ride with Snoop Dogg.

Doggface, who now has more than seven million TikTok followers, had his life changed after lip-syncing to Fleetwood Mac’s 1977 song Dreams and drinking Ocean Spray cranberry juice on the app.
Before his internet fame, he was previously living out of an RV with no running water parked outside of his brother’s home, where he would go to use the bathroom and shower.
In late September 2020, Doggface’s car broke down on the way to his job at a potato factory and the content creator decided to use his longboard to get to work instead, recording his now iconic TikTok video.

The video quickly went viral and has more than 11.5 million likes on the platform; in response, other members of the band including Mick Fleetwood and Stevie Nicks have released their own versions of the viral sensation.
After the dancer’s living situation became known to the public, donations started rolling in from various sources, with Ocean Spray notably sending a new pickup truck Apodaca’s way.

Doggface’s profile continued to rise after the video was posted, and he has racked up a number of high-visibility cameos, including appearing alongside Snoop Dogg in a commercial for the Vivint home security system.
Continuing to ride the online wave, the dancer launched an online store where he sells T-shirts and hoodies emblazoned with an image from the viral video.
Apodaca also sold a costume of himself through his website in the days leading up to Halloween.
After spending time hanging out and making connections in Los Angeles, the Idaho native spent some time in Las Vegas, where he proposed to his girlfriend Estela Chavez.
He has since purchased a $320,000 home in cash in his hometown in Idaho Falls.
