Avila Brothers Music Group/bmg Present “a Hard Working Man (feat. Billy Ray Cyrus & Snoop Dogg)”
Entertainment icons Billy Ray Cyrus and Snoop Dogg joined the Avila Brothers for “A Hard Working Man” and today released the “Yellowstone Mix” which incorporates more elements of Hip Hop and Snoop’s Urban influence on the already popular track. The song is a true mix of artists and genres with one of Hip Hop’s true icons, a Country legend and two Mexican-American creatives who have previously stayed predominantly behind the scenes. “A Hardworking Man” blends Snoop’s West Coast swagger, Cyrus’ Country appeal, Avila Brothers heritage, style, and Grammy-winning magic touch. The collaboration celebrates those that show up and grind every day and are proud of it. Now releasing the “Yellowstone Mix” of the track, the artists hope to spark up even more interest from the Hip Hop market. The song still recalls images of the American Industrial Revolution like a chorus of factory workers, a Western whistle and a railroad harmonica.
Throughout his nearly three-decade career of Billboard chart success that put him in the same company as Carlos Santana and Louis Armstrong, Billy Ray Cyrus has achieved global success as a singer, songwriter, actor, producer and philanthropist.
