Background
Dâm-Funk and Snoopzilla initially got together for an impromptu performance at the opening of The Dogg House at HVW8 Art + Design Gallery in Los Angeles on February 16, 2011.[2][3][4] A month after the meeting, the two began to collaborate when Snoop invited Dâm to perform with him at show at the SXSW Music Festival.[5][6] They forged a mutual admiration; then unexpectedly, Snoop sent Dâm a cryptic SoundCloud message: "I need some of that heat."[7] Months went by and Snoop went to Dâm's house. "Hit Da Pavement" is the first track 7 Days of Funk recorded.[8][9] Шаблон:Cquote
