What's his name? After Snoop Dogg's dubstep career didn't
take off in the way that he probably would have liked, the
rapper-actor-marijuana spokesman has decided to embrace a new genre and a new
alias.
Snoop -- using the moniker Snoop Lion -- will release a new
reggae album later this year called Reincarnated. In preparation, he's dropped
a single, "La La La,". Snoop and his band -- ominously named
"the Jungle" -- will perform for the first time on Aug. 3 at
Toronto's Caribana festival.
"La La La" sounds like a typical reggae track,
with laid-back guitar riffs and a dreamy vocal track from Snoop himself,
affecting a Bob Marley-like accent.
Reincarnated was executive produced by Diplo of Major Lazer.
"What we’re doing is a reggae record. It’s like Snoop
Dogg and Major Lazer together," Diplo said to MTV. "It’s all reggae
and he’s singing and he’s doing a f--king awesome job and I never knew it, but
he had his heart in every song. We’re going to get back into the production of
it next month, and I’m really proud of that record. It’s the first record I’ve
ever executive produced and his crew is amazing.”
There's even a Snoop Lion Twitter account, which you can

Look for Reincarnated to hit stores by the end of 2012.
