Snoop Dogg needs no introduction, but what about Snoop Lion? This is Snoop Doggy Dogg’s latest project called “REINCARNATED.” From my understanding, the inspiration for Snoop Lion/”REINCARNATED” was because Snoop recently visited Jamaica and loved the food, music, art, environment, etc. The visit literally changed his life.
Snoop had this to say about the album and the name change, “For this project, I had no intention of making a reggae album, but the spirit called me. Anytime the spirit calls you gotta know that it’s serious and real …. I wanted to bury Snoop Dogg and become Snoop Lion, but I didn’t know that until I went to the temple and received the name Snoop Lion from the Nyabingi priest. From that moment on, I started to understand why I was there and was able to create something magical in this [Reincarnated] project…something I haven’t done before in my career.”
Look for the VICE Film’s “REINCARNATED” to premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival September 7th.
