So Snoop Doggy Dogg visited Jamaica this past February and apparently had a spiritual awakening.

“I want to bury Snoop Dogg, and become Snoop Lion,” he told reporters, according to news.com.au. “I didn’t know that until I went to the temple, where the High Priest asked me what my name was, and I said, ‘Snoop Dogg.’ And he looked me in my eyes and said, ‘No more. You are the light; you are the lion.’ From that moment on, it’s like I had started to understand why I was there.”

Snoop Lion has been working on a reggae album, ”Reincarnated,” the recording of which is being chronicled in a documentary film that premieres at the Toronto International Film Festival in September. Well with as much as he’s smoked in his life it sort of makes sense that he’s going Rasta. Make sure to get our Jamaica Boardshorts on shoptits.com!
