KINGSTON, Star; Reggae newcomer Snoop Lion (formerly Snoop Dogg) was in the island on the weekend to shoot his first reggae video since converting to the genre and changing his name.
The video for the song Lighters Up, which features dancehall artistes Mavado and Popcaan was shot in the scenic parish of Portland.
According to Mavado, he was honoured to be a part of the project.
"Snoop is a legend in the game, so it was an honour to be a part of the project and Lighters Up is a great track. Snoop has mad love for Jamaica, so when he asked me to be a part of the video I didn't hesitate because anything that positively highlights Jamaica and brings it to a bigger stage, I am always ready to be a part of that," Mavado the STAR.
Popcaan was also elated to be on the project, telling the. STAR that he enjoyed working with Snoop Lion.
"It was very good working with Snoop, first on song and then on video. When I heard the hook I really liked it and when I met Snoop he asked me to write a couple verses. It worked out where he sang one of the verses I wrote and I sang the other. Later, he asked how I felt about Mavado being on the song, and I said I had no problem with it."
Adding, "Snoop is really cool, just getting to know him and hearing advice from someone who has been so successful in the music industry is a blessing. The video gonna be sick, any time hip hop and dancehall artistes work together we take it to a next level. Look out for the video it wicked TR88."
Snoop Lion released his debut reggae track titled La La La last year. Lighters Up will be on his upcoming album which is set to be released in the upcoming months.

Hope for Buju Banton on possible juror error
Gleaner: The American News Network Tampa Bay Online is reporting that a federal judge is expanding his investigation into possible juror misconduct in the drug trial of reggae star Buju Banton.
US District Judge James Moody this morning ordered US Marshals to seize computers belonging to jury foreperson Terri Wright, to allow a defense expert to look for evidence of Internet research conducted during the trial.
Banton, whose real name is Mark Myrie, is serving a 10-year prison sentence on two drug charges.
The Grammy winner faces an additional five years on a related gun possession charge, but his resentencing hearing was postponed to investigate the report of juror misconduct.
During a telephone conference on Wednesday, Judge Moody also told lawyers that he plans to subpoena more jurors and conduct another hearing into allegations that Wright violated his orders not to do outside research during the trial.
Wright told a reporter for a South Florida newspaper that she researched the case, apparently during the trial.
However, she testified that she only researched Banton's music and the federal Pinkerton rule, which involves liability among conspirators for the actions of other conspirators.

Male Fan hug Popcaan then beaten Popcaan hit with bottle in Zimbabwe
The Jamaican ushered his Zimbabwean fans into 2013 with most of his hits leaving the crowd spellbound.
Popcaan came onto the stage a little after 12 midnight and every song he performed ignited frenzy among the crowd and he managed to maintain it throughout his entire act.
The song that had the crowd jumping was his opening song System on the much popular Loudspeaker Riddim produced by the New York-based Dre Skull.
The-24-year-old then started to dig into his wide catalogue to bring out some of his early hits like Fake Friend, Dream and New Year.
Popcaan and the fans were in sync and the more he gave, the better it was received and given back to him tenfold.
Clarks has been one of the biggest tunes in Zimbabwe since it was released in 2010, and Popcaan got full marks from the crowd.
Midway through the Jamaican's act, an overzealous reveller jumped onto the stage and tried to hug the raving king and all hell broke loose.
An equally overzealous security guard moved in and pushed the man onto the floor and started assaulting him with a baton.
Popcaan at Zimbabwe gig New Year's eve
Within a space of few seconds, the man was badly injured and bleeding from the forehead when the police finally moved in to stop the brutal assault.
This did not go down well with Popcaan and the rest of the crowd who felt there was no need for such brutality on a fan who was just trying to get closer to his star.
Popcaan then started shouting on the mic: "Please stop beating up my fan!"
Bottles and empty cans started raining in from the upper deck as fans showed their disapproval to the way the security handled the situation.
Unfortunately, one of the missiles struck Popcaan on his right forehand and the Jamaican had to run to the back stage to seek cover.
After a brief stoppage, the situation was back to normal and Popcaan, who had not been seriously hurt by the missile, returned to the stage and continued with his show.

Sean Paul being sued for $80 due to erection problems amongs other things
 |
| Sean Paul and Jilted Lover Lady Ms Persson? |
A jilted lover is suing Grammy Award-winning reggae artist Sean Paul in New York for $80 million — and taking intimate revenge in the process — claiming he had her illegally deported from Jamaica and drove her to attempt suicide.
Susanne Persson, a busty blonde from Sweden, said Paul “bribed Jamaican police” to oust her from the country in June 2010, the suit claims.
The documents, filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, include an illustrated, self-written, 120-page tell-all that promises on its cover to allegedly expose: “The Truth About Sean Paul’s Cocaine Dealings, Lies, Murders and Erection Problems.”
The work, titled “Irie Jamboree: My life in Jamaica as a jet set slave with the enormous secret of a love affair with Jamaica’s perhaps most well known Dancehall Artist,” has a childishly hand-drawn cover depicting Persson in a blue sari and Paul with his signature Mohawk.
“Ever since [Paul] started using cocaine regularly, he has had severe erection problems. If it lasts one minute, it is a good day,” Persson alleges in the 11-chapter work, which she submitted as a supporting document to her self-filed lawsuit.
Persson included her American Airlines itinerary from Kingston, Jamaica, to Stockholm, Sweden, on June 24, in the court filing. Headline Entertainment, Paul’s promotion company, made the reservation, according to the receipt. Immigration authorities forced her to board the plane, the lawsuit claims.
It’s filed in New York because Paul’s record label, Atlantic, is based here
Reached in Jamaica, Paul’s lawyer denied the deportation allegations.
“He would not have the power to do that,” said attorney Tom Taveres-Finson.
The day before Persson was allegedly booted from the country, she claims she attempted suicide. “I had tried to kill myself, losing more than one liter of blood from a cut on my wrist,” she wrote in the court filing. “I had shown the pictures of the cuts to Sean over the Internet. I feel he should see what he had caused.”
Persson said the singer, who turns 40 next week and whose hits include “She Doesn’t Mind” and “Get Busy,” ruined her life.
He subjected her to “starvation, homelessness, repeated suicide attempts, loss of ability to generate income,” the complaint alleges.
Persson did not return calls for comment.
In the exhibit to her filing, she brags about her “long, blonde Barbie hair” and “E-cup bra” size, claiming Paul took hundreds of nude photos of her “obtained under the pretext of a future marriage.” A jilted lover is suing Grammy Award-winning reggae artist Sean Paul in New York for $80 million — and taking intimate revenge in the process — claiming he had her illegally deported from Jamaica and drove her to attempt suicide.
