This odd couple has teamed up for a track off of Snoop Lion's latest album.

"Ashtrays and Heartbreaks" is the latest single to hit the interwebz off of Snoop Lion's (previously known as Snoop Dogg) up-coming album Reincarnation.

The reggae induced track features a catchy sugary pop-styled hook by a totally unexpected guest: Miley Cyrus. Her voice goes along smoothly with the Marley-esque track, which was produced by Philly's own Diplo under his side project, Major Lazer. It's so darn catchy, we wouldn't be surprised if it became the summer jam of 2013.

Snoop is no stranger to the pop artist scene, having worked with Katy Perry and Robyn. It's been confirmed that Snoop will be working on Miley's TBN album, slated to be out this year.

Sounds like a bunch of garbage to me. That's music? Horrible. I suppose they'll be flooding the internet with dance remixes shortly. Yuck.

They are both heavy pot smokers and I guess they were high when they made this song.

If there were a Spinal Tap for hip-hop, this would be part of the soundtrack.

I prefer Snoop's white dress over Hannah Montana's ...
