"Snitch" is a song by American rapper Obie Trice, released as the first single from his second studio album ''Second Round's on Me'' (2006). The song features guest vocals from American singer Akon, who also produced the song and helped to write it along with Trice. Critical reception "Snitch" received generally positive reviews from music critics.
