Originally appeared on E! Online

The Voice has a whole new swagger thanks to Snoop Dogg.

The rapper makes his epic debut as the NBC singing competition show's newest coach in E! News' exclusive first look at season 26.

"Voice fans, Snoop is here," the "Drop It Like It's Hot" crooner announces in the preview before making a splash in the audition rounds. "It's gonna be a fun-filled season, you better believe."

And Snoop's fellow coaches Gwen Stefani, Reba McEntire and Michael Bublé couldn't be more excited about working with the hip-hop legend.

As Gwen gushes in the teaser, "I am so excited that Snoop is here as a coach, he is an original. He has created a brand within himself that's broken barriers. Like he is just Snoop, you don't even have to say Snoop Dogg. I think Snoop has this way about him that feels safe. They can tell automatically that he cares so much and he's be a great coach."

Plus, fellow first-time coach Michael notes, "Snoop Dogg is incredibly smart, talented. He's a genius."

Cut to Snoop igniting clouds of smoke around the other coaches while trying to convince a contestant to join his team over the others.

"While they blowing all that smoke over there, I'm telling your the truth," he tells the hopeful. "The best coach is the D-O double G."

Then, Michael quips after the stunt, "I don't know what you just did, but I know that I have the munchies."

And from hilariously using blinged out jewelry to entice auditionees to join his team to keeping Reba stocked with candy during tapings, Snoop definitely feels at home in his red swivel chair.

As for his chances at winning season 26, Reba thinks his charm and personality are what really make him a contender.

"Snoop is a very diversified man," the Happy's Place star gushed. "He's gone the rap route, he's doing children's songs. He said he did it for his grandchildren, which I think is so sweet and endearing. He's beloved everywhere and he's so friendly, so fun, so talented. But it's his heart that grabbed me more than anything."
