Diplo tells MTV about how Snoop became a Lion, and Snoop's transformation into being a reggae artist.
"If you haven't seen Snoop recently, he's gone totally Rasta," Diplo told MTV News a few weeks ago, after watching the Doggfather evolve over the past few months. "He has Bob Marley and Haile Selassie pins — he's mad Rasta."After getting past the initial shock of Snoop's new look, it's time to move on to the music. Thus far, he's debuted the album's first single, "La La La," and Diplo said the full project, co-produced by Major Lazer, will not disappoint."It's gonna surprise people, but it's an amazing record," he said. "We have some almost rap stuff on the record, but there's also a lot of singing, because he sings really well and there's a lot of backing vocals."He was really studying Bob Marley," Diplo added, describing the recording process. "He likes to have the female backing vocals, and it's a real Marley-esque vibe. We [also] have some West Coast attitude with the production, and I'm really excited about it. It sounds amazing." (MTV)
