Snoop Dogg is "Reincarnated" into Snoop Lion in new film

VICE Films and Snoopadelic Films announced that the new feature film Reincarnated is set to drop on March 15, 2013. Reincarnated traces the life and career of hip-hop icon Snoop Dogg and his "journey of reincarnation of self". Snoop reinvents himself both spiritually and musically. The close-up documentary, directed by Andy Capper, seamlessly showcases his journey and controversial transformation from hip-hop star to reggae singer while he was recording his forthcoming album Reincarnated.

Reincarnated delves into the legacy of Rastafari music culture as Snoop visits Trench Town, the birthplace of reggae and one-time stomping grounds of luminaries Peter Tosh, Bob Marley and the still living Bunny Wailer. The film gives viewers unprecedented access as Snoop reflects on his turbulent and rapid rise from Long Beach to international icon to his rechristening as "Snoop Lion."
