Speaking of the album, Snoop said”
“We were searching for true reggae music and the message of peace and hope it reflects….. It’s so much a part of who I am, and this record is all about paying homage and giving respect to those who created and love reggae music, and hopefully introducing it to a whole new audience. I feel truly honored to make this album and respect to all who blazed the path for me.”
