1. La La La (Produced by Major Lazer) – Snoop Lion – I don't know why Snoop didn't dscover Reggae much earlier. Honestly, it is tailor made for his roll em up aesthetic. This doesn't sound like the Dogg, he ain't rapping and he has that ny the umbers dubby feel going on. But with a poppier feel to it. I mean, "la la la" right? Grade: B
