Snoop Lion Records Theme Song for New ‘One Life to Live’ Series

Posted byBy ABS Contributor | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

NEW YORK – When Snoop Dogg recorded “The Next Episode,” no one realized he was talking about soaps: The newly christened Snoop Lion will both record the theme song of the new “One Life to Live” and appear as himself in several episodes.

Prospect Park/The Online Network, which is producing the new version of the show, announced Friday that Snoop will write, perform and produce a theme song called “Brand New Start” featuring singer Iza Lach.

The idea of a brand new start resonates with both “One Life to Live” and Snoop Lion because, well, you know. The series is getting a new life after it was canceled by ABC.

On the series, Snoop Lion will visit the fictional town of Llanview to promote his new film, “Reincarnated” which documents his transition from Snoop Dogg to Snoop Lion.

In his previous life, Snoop made several cameos on the old version of the show.

“We’re thrilled to have the support of such an iconic artist, like Snoop Lion. To have him write and produce the theme song for this series and to have the amazingly talented Iza Lach on board, is just incredible. We are extremely grateful and excited for fans to hear the new theme song and, of course, catch Snoop Lion in upcoming episodes,” said Jeff Kwatinetz, chairman and CEO of Prospect Park.

The new episodes will be available through Hulu and iTunes beginnning April 29.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
