Welcome to the World of the Plastic Beach



Welcome to the World of the Plastic Beach is the second track on Gorillaz' 2010 album "Plastic Beach".

The song features Snoop Dogg and The Hypnotic Brass Ensemble.

Band member Murdoc Niccals stated the following about "Welcome to the World of the Plastic Beach" in a track-by-track commentary:

"Snoop’s the granddaddy, isn’t he? 'Doggystyle' was for many people the record that got them into rap and G-funk. The track also features The Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, a Chicago nine-piece brass group featuring eight sons of Phil Cohran (who played trumpet with The Sun Ra Arkestra).

''This is a proper soundtrack: brass-laden, pimped out, plastic funk, mixing the organic with the plastic to form something new and shiny. And who better to open up this world than Snoop?''"
