As multidimensional maestros go, few can rival the resonance of Snoop Dogg.

Indeed, from dominating the charts to making a mark across a multitude of mediums, the superstar has morphed into more than a musician – he’s a Pop cultural icon.

Proving that his skills know no bounds, Snoop has joined forces with Kelly Clarkson to host NBC’s newest show, ‘American Song Contest.’

Helmed by the producers of NBC’s ‘The Voice’ and ‘Eurovision Song Contest,’ the live series features 56 performers (bands, solo artists, or duos) – including representatives from all 50 states. Each week, they compete for a chance to win the country’s vote for the “best hit song.”

With the competition underway, Snoop chopped it up with That Grape Juice‘s Chet Kincaid about navigating the various versions of himself that we’ve come to know and love in the context of this particular show.

Check out the chat above.
