Hey guys, Eric Ross here for Young Hollywood. We are at Westlake Recording Studio where I just got a sneak peek of Snoop Lion's new record, Reincarnated. And we're gonna talk to the man himself. Here comes the King. So the new reggae album, Reincarnated. It's amazing. I like how it's so much happier. It's it's a little bit more feel good. What's your favorite song on the album?

I have two. I say, No Guns Allowed and uh, Tired of the Running.

I heard both of those. I love them both. I saw that you have, uh, you collaborated with, you know, Drake and Chris Brown and you also have Akon on the album, but my favorite collaboration was with your daughter Cori B. How is it working with her?

Uh, well that was awesome because, um, you know, I'm my worst critic. And I feel like she's able to, you know, stand tall now and deliver with me, so I'm proud of her for what she did, how she did it. And, you know, it's a song that says something, so we have a, a record that we can both, you know, say that we actually speaking to the youth and the adults. It's a great record that's gonna be here 20, 30 years after we're gone.

Absolutely. And now speaking of saying something, you know, the message in this album is so positive and uplifting and did you ever think that you would transition into this kind of music or were you always, you know, thinking it was gonna be rap?

I never thought that I could transition to this style of music because to me, as a kid, I was always one to be, you know, completely opposite of this. I always wanted to be the violent, the negative, the, you know, the gangster, you know what I'm saying? Cuz that's what I was taught to be. But, um, as you grow, you learn and become wiser and then you open for change, you know what's best for you and what's best for what you're doing. So, I know that this is what's best for me and what's going on right now.

Absolutely. Now you took a trip to Jamaica for a month and tell me the best experience you had over there.

The best experience I had in Jamaica probably would be, um, getting my relationships with uh, some people over there. Some real friends. Uh, Dave and a couple other roster guys I used to get up with in the morning and greet me on the bottom of the hill. Jump on their little motorcycles. And roll up the hill and bring me some of that do it fluid. You know what I'm saying? Had me feeling real right, you know what I'm saying?

I know what you're talking about. Now, Here Comes the King, the video is, you know, it's very reggae, but it is also very Hollywood glam.

You think so?

Which I see with even even the the Rasta, you know, grill. Go ahead and show that.

Yeah, mon.

Is that what you're trying to kind of incorporate? Is a little bit of both?

I'm just me. I mean, I can't do nothing but me, you know what I'm saying? One thing about me, I'mma do me at all times, you know what I'm saying? And um, what comes with it is everything.

How is the hip hop community taking to this, this album?

They love it. That's why I got so many hip hop artists on this record, you know what I'm saying? I mean, they happy for me. I feel like the the older generation, they're so happy to see the change in me and they always wanted to see the change in me. And I feel like the younger generation is happy that I'm not rapping because now they get to make all the money. They get all the girls. They get to have all the fun. You know what I'm happy about? I'm happy that my mom can listen to this album. Thank you. Right? Thank you. You know, mom, I've been trying to figure out a way to make some music to make you feel good along with the baby girl. Now you both can listen to this great record from top to bottom. Whenever you feel the need, mom, just throw on some Reincarnated.

There you go. Thank you so much, you're awesome.

Thank you.
