Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre have announced the release date of their new album ‘Missionary’. Find out more below.
The album has been teased since March this year, and will be the follow-up to their 1993 album ‘Doggystyle’.
So far, Dr. Dre has shared that Sting is set to feature on the album, along with others who he hasn’t yet named. “Man, it’s an amazing roster of artists that’s on this album. I shouldn’t have revealed that, to be honest,” he said earlier this year.
He also suggested that his vocals will only feature on one song, while he focuses on producing the entire album.
Now, Snoop has finally revealed that the album will be released on December 13 via Death Row Records, the legendary hip-hop label that he acquired in 2022. He shared the news in an Instagram post yesterday (October 30). Check it out below.
Dre had previously said he hoped for a November release date, and explained that ‘Missionary’ differs from ‘Doggystyle’ because: “This one’s gonna show a different level of maturity with his lyrics and with my music. I feel like this is some of the best music I’ve done in my career.”
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight after performing for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games handover celebration, – which also included Billie Eilish and Red Hot Chili Peppers – Dr. Dre revealed that his bond with Snoop goes much further than just recording music in the studio.
He revealed: “I don’t even feel comfortable performing without Snoop. Something about the synergy that me and Snoop have is really interesting.” He went on to add, “Really, Snoop, he’s the superstar. I’m the co-star when we get on stage. It’s different when we’re in the studio, you know? I’m the captain when we’re in the studio, but when we go outside, Snoop is the guy.”
