After an interesting leak of the track appeared in December, Snoop Lion (neé Dogg) has just released the official accompanying video.
Featuring Mavado & Popcaan and produced by heavyweights Dre Skull and Major Lazer, ‘Lighters Up’ marks an interesting shift of music for the former gangsta rapper. Personally, I haven’t been too enthralled by any Snoop material over the past 10 years or so, however this track has been fixed on my iPhone since its initial release. The video is a welcome bonus to this.
The track will appear on Lion’s forthcoming Reggae-inspired album ‘Reincarnated’, though the artist is set to return to his ‘Dogg’ rap roots for his Bestival appearance later this year.
Essentially:
– Lion = reggae
– Dogg = rap
obviously….
Here’s the video for your viewing pleasure
