Data Insight
Reincarnated is a reggae album that Snoop Dogg recorded and released under the name Snoop Lion, a deliberate departure from his West Coast hip hop catalog. The record was made after a trip to Jamaica and is largely produced by Diplo under his Major Lazer moniker, with additional production from Ariel Rechtshaid and Dre Skull. Snoop Lion writes and sings or chants his own parts across the album, trading gangsta rap for Rastafarian themes and dancehall and reggae fusion arrangements. Guests include Drake, Miley Cyrus, Busta Rhymes, Akon, Mavado, and Popcaan, and the album was the best-selling reggae album in the United States in 2013.
Snoop's twelfth studio album, released April 23, 2013 under the alias Snoop Lion. Recorded as a reggae and dancehall project in collaboration with Major Lazer (Diplo, Jillionaire, Walshy Fire) and producer Ariel Rechtshaid, it was preceded by a Rastafari ceremony in Jamaica. The album features Angela Hunte, Drake, Akon, Mavado, Popcaan, Miley Cyrus, Rita Ora, and Busta Rhymes. The accompanying documentary film chronicles the recording process.
