Snoop Dogg Unveils Reggae Album

Snoop Dogg has previewed his new reggae album, Reincarnated. The "Drop it Like it's Hot" rapper gave fans a taste of his new musical direction with the track "La La La," produced by Diplo and Ariel Rechtshaid and executive produced by Major Lazer.

The 40-year-old star - real name Calvin Broadus - will be going under the alias Snoop Lion for the project, and has been working on 18 new tracks with producer Diplo. Speaking of the project, Diplo has said, "Snoop Dogg is an icon, man; he's bigger than the music. What we're doing is a reggae record. It's all reggae and he's singing and he's doing a f***ing awesome job and I never knew it, but he had his heart in every song."

Chromeo and the recipe for Tenderoni

Pitchfork has reverse engineered the recipe for “Tenderoni” by Chromeo and came up with the following:

• 6 cups repetitive keyboard space bass
• 2 cups “Staying Alive” disco guitar
• 3 tbsp Zapp & Roger vocoder
• 1 tsp cowbell
• 2 small bags of keyboard handclaps
• 1 fake fadeout

Bring space bass to a boil. Stir in disco guitar, handclaps, and vocoder until an even mixture is achieved. Sprinkle cowbell into broth. Let cool. Pour into bowl, and carefully place fadeout on top. Serves two creeps.

After listening to this track way too many times, we’ve found that there is no way to argue this. The rest of the Chromeo album, Fancy Footwork, is just as solid and the perfect way to start your day. Grab the “Tenderoni” MP3 download below, here and once you’ve looped it a hundred times or so,  grab the remixes.
