Snoop's latest project will see the rapper, temporarily at least, change his name to Snoopzilla for a new funk project he is working on with Dam-Funk under the moniker of 7 Days of Funk. Snoop's altered moniker is a tribute to famed funk bassist Bootsy Collins who was known in the biz as Bootzilla.

This is the second name change in recent times for him, having converted to Rastafarianism and changing his name to Snoop Lion a couple of years ago.

7 Days of Funk will release their first record in the second week of December and, speaking of the project, 'Snoopzilla' said: "We're the babies of the Mothership. 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."
