Snoop Dogg is set to release a reggae album under the new pseudonym Snoop Lion.

The Long Beach hip-hop star will be releasing a reggae album later on this year, titled Reincarnated and will see Snoop change his name to Snoop Lion.

The 40-year-old star is set to swap his gangsta image for a more hippy approach, singing his way through the majority of the new album, which is set to hit shelves later this year on Vice Records.

“Sendin the positive vibes all around!!! jahh!!! rastafari!!!” the newly christened Snoop Lion declared on Twitter.

With that Rastafarian tweet came a link to his new single “La La La”. Snoop’s last album Doggumentary only managed to hit No 44 back in 2011.

Can Snoop Lion become the king of the jungle with his new offering?
