Published Jul 21 2012, 19:08 BST | By Paul Martinovic
Snoop Dogg has released his first reggae single, assuming the alter ego of 'Snoop Lion'.The single, called 'La La La', has been produced by Diplo and Ariel Rechshaid, and 'executive produced' by Major Lazer.
'La La La' precedes an album of all-reggae material from the 40-year-old rapper.
Pitchfork reports that the record, called Reincarnated, will be released on Vice Records later this year.
Snoop made headlines recently after being detained at a Norway airport for marijuana possession.
He had previously been arrested in Texas earlier in the year, again for marijuana possession, when a police dog found an ounce of cannabis on his tour bus.
