Tickets Available at: www.computicket.com

Entertainment icon and multi-platinum artist Snoop Dogg aka Snoop Lion (@SnoopLion), has confirmed his visit to South Africa. The “REINCARNATED” rapper, singer-songwriter, producer, actor Snoop Lion, is set to perform Cape Town on 21 May at Grand Arena, GrandWest.  Snoop will perform an array of his classic and most recent hits such as “Drop It Like It’s Hot,” “Gin and Juice” and “Young, Wild and Free,” as well as new material from his forthcoming reggae and dancehall inspired album, REINCARNATED, promising all concert-goers an exciting live music experience.

Snoop Dogg aka Snoop Lion was born Cordozar Calvin Broadus Jr. in Long Beach, California in 1971.  A Grammy award nominated rapper, producer and actor, Snoop is a legendary figure in the West Coast hip-hop scene, and one of producer Dr. Dre’s earliest and most notable protégées. Snoop made his hip-hop recording debut in 1992 on Dre’s debut album The Chronic, followed by his critically acclaimed debut 1993 album, Doggystyle, which climbed its way to the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s hip-hop and Top 200 chart.  Snoop has stayed in the headlines for the rest of his 20+ year career, during which he has created eleven studio albums, one collaborative album, seventeen compilation albums, one extended play, twenty mixtapes, one hundred and twenty-four singles (including seventy-two as a featured artist) and seven promotional singles, and sold more than 30 million albums worldwide.

Most recently Snoop Lion, in conjunction with VICE Media and Stampede Management, released REINCARNATED, the multi-media project capturing Snoop’s exploration of reggae music and spiritual growth. The project follows the controversial journey of a modern day icon and includes a reggae-influenced album executive produced by Diplo and Major Lazer, a feature-length documentary film of Snoop’s journey and career which premiered at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival to rave reviews, a photo book, and a self-sustainable gardening initiative named Mind Gardens. In addition, Snoop recently launched his REINCARNATED Track Notes App in conjunction with Cashmere Agency and Citia that provides fans with a deep-dive experience into the REINCARNATED project with access to exclusive footage and commentary. The REINCARNATED project recently launched the documentary in select markets, with the album set for an April 22^nd South Africa release in conjunction with Berhane Sound System, Mad Decent, VICE Music and RCA Records.

The REINCARNATED album features GRAMMY Award-winners Drake, Chris Brown and T.I., rapper Busta Rhymes, Akon, UK singing star Rita Ora, pop star Miley Cyrus, as well as dancehall stars Popcaan and Mavado, and more.  The album includes tracks “La, La, La”, “Ashtrays and Heartbreaks“, “Harder Times“, and the very personal “No Guns Allowed,” which features Drake as well as his daughter, up-and-coming artist Cori B, and shares the message of hope and peace in light of recent events around the world.

REINCARNATED will be available in South Africa on April 22^nd on iTunes (http://smarturl.it/ReincarnatedDX) and on Amazon (http://smarturl.it/reincarnatedam).

Concert promoters G&G Productions are urging Snoop fans to get their tickets now to avoid disappointment.
