From Dogg to Lion and now SnoopZilla. Snoop Dogg changed his name to SnoopZilla for his upcoming album, Rolling Stone reported.

The 41-year-old rapper has a new identity in honor of his latest musical project 7 Days of Funk where he collaborated with Dam-Funk. In a press release statement, Snoopzilla talked about this collaboration with Dam-Funk.

"We're the babies of the Mothership," Snoopzilla said in a statement issued to Time. "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."

"Snoop knew what I was thinking without me having to articulate it," Dam-Funk added in the statement. "That's how you know when you gel artistically with someone."

This is not the first time that the two collaborated. In 2011, Snoopzilla invited Dam-Funk onstage to rock out with him at the South by Southwest Music Festival.

Dam-Funk praised Snoopzilla in this album, "These beats were made for him and he laid down some of the smoothest harmonies and melodies I've ever heard," Funk continued. "It's hip-hop, but you can also hear what we grew up on, from Zapp to Evelyn 'Champagne' King and Patrice Rushen."

According to Ace Showbiz, Snoopzilla's 7 Days of Funk will be released on December 10. The duo's first single, Faden Away debuted on iTunes Thursday, Oct. 17 ahead of its album release.
