Snoop Lion manages to do what no other reggae/dancehall stars could not have done, unite two artists from the gully/gaza era of dancehall.
Speaking with Anthony Miller of ER, Snoop says he is now about peace, love and unity.
“What I like to do now is I like to bring brothers together,” Snoop said. “Let them know and understand that this is a business, its not a gang, its a business. And the only way this business is going to grow is if we work with each other… We have to treat this like a business and not be so personal, intertwine with feeling like we have to be so negative or we have to not like this person.”
Both Mavado and Popcaan also agrees with Snoop Lion’s call for unity in the business.
“We just a make it work right now we just doing it big,” Mavado said.
“Popcaan write a verse for Snoop and in the long run I got a call saying Mavado will be on it and how I feel if I would still do it and I said yes because it good for the music,” Popcaan added.
The official video for “Lighters Up” will hit your screen in the coming week.
Dancehall is bigger than gully gaza. unity is strength.
MOY ROOT I AGREED SHAME ON THE SINGER IN JAMAICE THAT SNOOP TELLING THEM TO HELP THE YOUTH IN THE GETTO WITH VEGETABLE FARM , MUSIC NOT SELLING IN USA DUE TO TECNOLOGY DOWN LOAD MUSIC MUSIC BAD NOW IN USA.
Snoop Dog is such a wonderful human being, first time I saw snoop on tv I was taken aback by his kind soft easy nature, its hard not to like people like snoop. Eventhough he use to move with some ruff crowd the aura about snoop was still the same. I’m glad he has decided to being only himself that nice natured person, its a shame though that it took snoop to go to jamaica in the ghetto and tell them to do a bit of vegetable farming. I mean anybody with an once of common sense would’ve thought of that without any celebrity pointing it out. What happen to warboat bounty killa and kartel, dem caan tell the youths dem feh stop deh war and guh duh little farming.
CREATED BLESS SNOOP.
