Snoop Dogg Brings New Life to His Reggae Album "Reincarnated,"

Monday, April 29, 2013

It's not just a name change, but there's a new take on life for Snoop Lion, who switched his stage name from Snoop Dogg after a trip to Jamaica where he embraced Rastafarian culture.

 

And the new project works.

Snoop's first reggae album, "Reincarnated," includes some fine production by Major Lazer (aka Diplo), with guest appearances from Miley Cyrus, Akon, Rita Ora and Angela Hunte, who co-wrote the Jay-Z hit "Empire State of Mind."

The rapper is still the marijuana-smoking, ultra-smooth Snoop we've all come to know and love. But he's also more focused on love and happiness, and not the gangsta raps he spewed in the past.

He sings against gun violence on "No Guns Allowed," which features rapper Drake and vocals from his daughter Cori B. The track is special because it shows how Snoop has matured as a musician — and bringing on his 13-year-old daughter only drives home the point. He tackles global warming on "Tired of Running" with Akon, and preaches unity on "Lighters Up," featuring Mavado and Popcaan.

The gem of the album, though, is the dancehall track featuring Cyrus. "Ashtrays and Heartbreaks" is an easygoing track where Cyrus shines alongside Snoop.

While there are some misses — like "Get Away" and "Fruit Juice" — most of Snoop's twelfth studio album is an entertaining piece of work.

Thursday, March 7, 2013

Jamaican Entertainer Mavado became the first Caribbean artiste to have his video exclusively premiere on Billboard. . The dancehall-pop flavoured "Take It" featuring Karian Sang, was released in late December by the Miami-based digital reggae label Zojak Worldwide. The single was produced by Troy "Troyton" Hinds and Michael "Askhell" Fairman for Troyton Music.

In a statement, Zojak World Wide CEO, Zoe Espitia said of the song, "Zojak World Wide/Troyton Music utilised top-tier radio DJ pools to get the track played in major markets."

"TakeIt" has topped two dancehall charts in England (BBC Radio 1 Xtra, Choice FM) and the Radio Dub plate chart on Toronto's CHRY 105.5 FM. Veteran reggae club/radio DJ King Waggy T of WEDR-99 Jamz, Miami, who often broadcasts from Fort Lauderdale's Club Iguana, says "Take It" has garnered enthusiastic responses from his radio audience and is a dance floor favorite at Iguana.

 

Mavado is currently signed to DJ Khaled's We The Best Music Group (WTB), which entered into a partnership with Ronald "Slim" Williams and Bryan "Birdman" Williams' Young Money Cash Money Billionaires (YMCMB) in May 2012, and his working on his much-anticipated debut album.
