D-O-Double G? Cut that !

Who is Snoop Lion? Snoop Dogg. The former hard rapper is now taking a step of change. He's now becoming a Reggae artist. Snoop announced his conversion to Rastafarianism on Monday, July 30th. Though being Rastafarian does not ask that one change their name or title, being called a dog is completely insulting. (Says Ennis Edmonds. Edmonds is a scholar at Kenyon College.)  "Rastas would probably see calling yourself a dog as an indication of lack of self-knowledge," (Edmonds said.) Snoop's new last name Lion comes from the "lion of Zion", which was also sung about numerous times by the late Rasta singer Bob Marley. 
  In one of Snoop's new songs, actress and pop artist Miley Cyrus is featured: Ashtrays and Heartbreaks. The song is said to be a mix of Raggae and Dancehall, according to directlyrics.com .
Although, lyrics have not yet been released for this song, it is featured on Lion's new album Reincarnated. Other artists on the album consist of Drake, Chris Brown, Rita Ora, and more.

This is extremely shocking. Who'd imagine Snoop collaborating with Miley Cyrus?

Snoop Lion's album will be released April 23rd, 2013. 

Listen and comment! Do you like the new Snoop, or miss the old one?
