Under the new moniker, he released a reggae album, Reincarnated, and a documentary film of the same name, of his Jamaican experience, in early 2013.Snoop Lion, nee Snoop Dogg, has done the seemingly impossible - pissed off a bunch of ganja smoking Rastafarians - who claim he lied about becoming a Rasta just to make a movie and sell records. In 2012, after a trip to Jamaica, Snoop announced a conversion to the Rastafari movement and a new alias, Snoop Lion.

(born October 20, 1971), known by his stage names Snoop Doggy Dogg, Snoop Dogg, and later Snoop Lion, is an American rapper, singer-songwriter, and actor. And really, somebody who has been in the game for so long needs to switch it up sometimes or else everybody would be saying he got stale.Ĭalvin Cordozar Broadus, Jr. It’s not really about rap, reggae, hip hop, funk or whatever is next. Most people focus on him smoking weed with Bunny Wailer and Diplo or how he wants to be Bob Marley (he doesn’t) but really, he just wants to make good music with good messages. It does more than just show the making of, it shows his efforts to unite people and give back to the community.
Which kind of leads me to another main reason I bought this.įor this album, Snoop also made a movie about the process. I also bought this as my first Snoop album because I can sing along and not have to edit myself as a white girl. Snoop Doggy Dogg, Snoop Dogg, Snoop, Snoop Lion, Snoopzilla, I don’t give a f*ck what name he’s going by, I love him.
In 1999 the Jamaican government made her an Officer of the Order of Distinction for “services to music”. She became the first female singer nominated for a Grammy Award in the category of reggae music when her Working Wonders album was nominated in 1985.įormerly a member of the Rastafari movement, in the late 1990s she converted to Christianity and now sings Gospel music. It was also the first reggae album recorded by a woman acting as her own producer. Her Black Woman album is considered by many critics to be the greatest reggae album by a female artiste. In 1974, she got her big break when she joined the I Threes. This song – with the name changed to “Reincarnated Souls” – was included on Bunny Wailer’s first solo album Blackheart Man ( which I also recently picked up). Snoop Lion has traveled to Jamaica and studied in the Nyabinghi branch of the Rastafari movement.He has cited reggae musicians such as Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer, Gregory Isaacs and Jimmy Cliff as influences for the album. Furthermore, the B Side of Concrete Jungle, “Reincarnated Soul”, was also credited to Jean Watt and sung by Bunny Wailer. On The Wailers album Burnin’, two songs were credited to Judy Mowatt under the pseudonym Jean Watt. I just want to kick myself at this point!Įven before the I Threes, Mowatt was associated with Bunny Wailer in the early 1970s and wrote some of the tracks he recorded. My previous post was a bit skimpy on the information so I would like to expand on that info because before these albums, I had absolutely no knowledge of her music. She deserves just as much recognition as the men of reggae and I look forward to adding even more of her discography to my collection. Let’s get into the back story of Judy Mowatt a little bit.
