Snoop Dogg is one of the most iconic rappers of the 1990s and 2000s. Discovered by rapper Dr. Dre in 1992, he has since sold over 23 million albums in the US and 35 million albums worldwide. In 2012, the weed-smoking rapper superstar took a trip to Jamaica where he then announced that he was converting to Rastafarian and was establishing a new image known as Snoop Lion.

As Snoop Lion, he put rap and hip-hop aside and came out with a reggae album titled Reincarnated, as well as a documentary of the same name. However, it didn’t take long for him to give up on his reggae career and return to what he knows best.
