The often copied but never imitated Snoop Lion (aka. Snoop Dogg) is bringing his Reincarnated World Tour to the Mother City for one night only, on Tuesday 21 May 2013 at GrandWest Casino. Discovered in 1992 by Dr. Dre, Calvin Broadus Jr. has certainly had what can only be described as an extremely colourful career since the release of his debut album, Doggystyle. Multi-platinum selling albums have followed ever since, and his latest offering, Reincarnated, is sure to follow suit. Reincarnated sees the famed rapper broadening his horizons into the reggae and dance-hall genres. The contentious performing artist is also an extremely sought after collaborator and has worked with the likes of Katy Perry, Pharrell and Justin
