Rap peacemaker Snoop Dogg is calling on the black and Hispanic communities to unite and end months of violence between them in Los Angeles.

Snoop's new single Vato features Latino rapper B Real of Cypress Hill, and he hopes the video will help inspire friendship between the two racial groups.

He tells MTV News, "People believe what they see, so if we put a video out and show us working together and being friends and being cool. People will look at that and feel it's cool. But it's not an act. B Real been my homie. It's only right for us to have a video that brings those worlds together.

"Black is black, brown is brown, but if we put those two together, there's nothing that can stop us."
