Say 'wah gwaan?' to Snoop Lion, the reggae alter ego of hip hop/rap legend Snoop Dogg.

The entertainer, known for his no-holds-barred lyrics about women and marijuana, recently introduced his reggae-inspired moniker, Snoop Lion, well timed for his upcoming reggae album, "Reincarnated" .

In support of the project, he recently released the LP's first single, "La La La" , last Friday.

The song, which was produced by Major Lazer, sees Snoop trying a Jamaican accent and features vocals from Jovi Rockwell.
It seems Snoop has much more in store.

Snoop Lion's social networking pages are up and running. Pages on Twitter (@snoop_lion), SoundCloud, Facebook and Tumblr are very active with thousands of fans commenting on his new Name. Most have responded favourably.

A fan tweeted, "@snoop_lion @SnoopDogg Are you making a Whole album out of Reggae? Cause its sounds awesome," to the star.
Snoop Lion also earned a 'big up' from Rohan Marley which read, "BIGUP @SnoopDogg @snoop_lion#LaLaLa track #JAHRASTAFARI".
