Snoop Dogg and Pharrell Light Up Paris, Olympic Torch Relay’s Star-Studded Finale
In a dazzling culmination of the 2024 Olympic torch relay, music legends Snoop Dogg and Pharrell Williams took center stage, igniting excitement ahead of the Paris Games. The iconic duo carried the Olympic torches on the final leg of this historic journey, ending with a spectacular lighting of the cauldron at the opening ceremonies.
Snoop Dogg, known for his charismatic persona, brought his torch through the streets of Seine-Saint-Denis, France, where he was greeted by throngs of adoring fans. Captured in a vibrant video, Snoop danced and waved, fully embracing the honor bestowed upon him.
“I look at this as a prestigious honor and something I truly respect,” Snoop Dogg shared with the Associated Press. “I would have never dreamed of nothing like this. I’m going to be on my best behavior. I’m going to be on my best athleticism. I’ll be able to breathe slow to walk fast and hold the torch with a smile on my face, because I realize how prestigious this event is.”
Pharrell Williams, another music powerhouse, carried the torch to the pinnacle of the Basilica Cathedral of Saint-Denis, marking the final handoff before the flame’s grand arrival at the Olympic cauldron. Their participation adds them to a distinguished list of celebrities who have carried the torch, including K-pop star Jin, Muhammad Ali, Magic Johnson, and the Williams sisters.
Since its inception in the 1936 Summer Olympics, the torch relay has symbolized unity and friendship, crossing multiple countries and bringing people together in the spirit of the Games.
For Snoop Dogg, this moment is a crowning achievement in a year filled with successes. His revitalized Death Row Records continues to thrive, with the recent signing of Charlie Bereal creating buzz among fans. Additionally, Snoop’s upcoming album, Missionary, produced by Dr. Dre, promises to be a spiritual successor to his debut masterpiece, Doggystyle. Now, with his new title as an Olympic torch bearer, Snoop Dogg’s legacy shines brighter than ever.

Eylsia proves that hope can find its voice even through hardship in “Find Another Way”
Eylsia’s latest release, “Find Another Way,” is a very personal message of perseverance. Elysia wrote the song lying in bed after hurting his voice, drawing from a vulnerable period in his life and choosing not to keep that experience in total silence, but to find meaning in sharing it as a way to thank everyone who has stood by him in steadfast support.
The message of “Find Another Way” is that we don’t have to be defined by our failures. Eylsia’s story reminds us that in times of trial, we are not tested by our will, but by our skills. This song is about how you can still sing with a broken voice. It’s about staying alive in life’s unplanned moments with creativity and hope.
“The beauty of this release is it makes you look for opportunities when the original road is tough. It’s not about things living on. It’s about never giving up on yourself. That’s “Find Another Way. Eylsia’s words of inspiration and thanks remind us there is another way when things change.

The remix also features Grammy Award-winning producer Philip Larsen, who has worked with Kylie Minogue, Katy Perry, and Soft Cell.

It treads the line between familiar guitar sounds and an ethos that feels especially relevant in an increasingly curated online culture.
“Mighty Man (Jack De Keyzer’s Rock’n’Roll Remix)“ is about living large, living on the edge, and having fun with experiences that can’t be so neatly scripted for an audience. This focus gives the song an artistic direction while keeping its message rooted in everyday life.
