The 41-year-old rapper's new identity, Snoopzilla, is in honor of his latest musical project, "7 Days of Funk," which is a collaboration with Dam-Funk, reports Rolling Stone.
"We're the babies of the Mothership," Snoopzilla said in a statement. "I've had funk influences in my music my whole career. Dam-Funk is cold. He's keeping the funk alive and I knew I had to get down with him." The duo's first single, "Faden Away," debuted on iTunes Thursday ahead of its Dec. 10 album release.
