Snoop Teams Up With Diplo For New Record
Tue, 11th September
Snoop Dogg is set to work with Diplo on his forthcoming reggae influenced album. Rebranding himself as Snoop Lion for the record, the rapper chose Diplo as his producer because he knows the genre well. Diplo has previously worked on reggae material with his dancehall project Major Lazer. He played Snoop his track ‘Get Free’, which the former G-funk artist loved and decided to make some songs in a similar style.

The record is set for release either late this year or early next year and represents a new chapter in both artists’ careers. Robert Preston 11th September 2012 Read More
