by

Back in 2022, Snoop Dogg confirmed that he had a new album with Dr. Dre on the way, Missionary. The project will celebrate the 30th anniversary of Snoop’s 1993 debut, Doggystyle. Fans have been anxiously awaiting the release ever since, and fortunately, it looks like they shouldn’t have to wait too much longer.

During a recent appearance on the All The Smoke podcast, Snoop provided viewers with an update on the project. According to him, he and Dr. Dre have reached the final stages. “I’m in the lab with Dr. Dre right now. That’s Death Row/Aftermath. We finishing that up right now, tidying up the pieces to that. He’s a perfectionist,” he explained.

Snoop Dogg & Dr. Dre Are “Tidying Up” Missionary

He went on, revealing how the album came to be in the first place. “The n***a called me one day about two years ago. He was like, ‘N***a, come over, let me do a couple of songs with you,’” he recalled. “I go over there and he like, ‘N***a, let me do your album.’ And I’m like, ‘Alright, let’s go!’ We go in, knock out a couple of songs. He hit me back: ‘I need two more days.’ I got that call probably about 85 times. This n***a need two more days all the time.“

“But when you hear what we have and how he got me rapping, it’s like a grown Snoop Dogg,” he added. “There’s some growth to him. It’s the way he selects his bars, it’s the way he uses his voice. [Dr. Dre] uses me like a f*cking robot and I love it because I love to be produced. I love to be challenged.” What do you think of Snoop Dogg revealing that he and Dr. Dre are “finishing up” their upcoming album, Missionary? Are you looking forward to hearing it?

Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre have given fans an update on their upcoming collaborative album, Missionary. Snoop shared a photo on Instagram of Dr. Dre and himself in the studio, captioning the post, “Coming soon.” Fans immediately flocked to the rapper’s comments section to express their excitement for the new project.

Snoop confirmed that Missionary was in the works last year during an appearance on Steven A.

He went on to claim “it’ll be done in November.” Snoop continued, explaining, “It’s produced by Dr. Dre, it’s our 30th anniversary to Doggystyle.

Snoop Updates Fans

Last month, Smitty shared some additional details about the upcoming record during an interview. The producer told AllHipHop, “It’s gonna be great music.” He went on to say, “That’s not even the given. What people won’t expect is the level of execution that Snoop is committed to. Snoop’s in his bag. I was in Hawaii working with other projects last week. He called me — I’m three hours behind, it has to be 8 in the morning — he’s like ‘Man, this is Snoop. Little bro, I ain’t seen Dre this excited since The Chronic. He’s really excited about what we’re doing.’”

Earlier this month, Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre also postponed their scheduled Hollywood Bowl performances to show support for the Writers Guild of America strike. The shows are set to celebrate the 30-year-anniversary of Snoop’s iconic 1993 album, Doggystyle. The performances will now take place on October 20-21 instead of the original June dates. They also sent food trucks to feed the striking writers, sharing a message alongside the sponsored bagels. “We stand in solidarity with the unions and are hopeful that the AMPTP will negotiate fair deals as soon as possible and everyone can get back to work,” a sign on one truck read.

Dr. Dre’s Passion For Snoop Dogg’s New Album Matches “The Chronic,” Smitty Says

by

Dr. Dre’s excitement for Snoop Dogg’s upcoming album reportedly matches that of The Chronic, according to producer Smitty. The Grammy Award winner sat down with AllHipHop to discuss the highly-anticipated project. He detailed what the studio sessions have been like with the two legendary artists.

“It’s gonna be great music,” Smitty said. “That’s not even the given. What people won’t expect is the level of execution that Snoop is committed to. Snoop’s in his bag. I was in Hawaii working with other projects last week. He called me — I’m three hours behind, it has to be 8 in the morning — he’s like ‘Man, this is Snoop. Little bro, I ain’t seen Dre this excited since The Chronic. He’s really excited about what we’re doing.’ I said, ‘Nah, you think?’ He said, ‘Y’all ain’t got what we got. Y’all go on trips on yachts with him, record and all that shit,’ because that’s how we started.”

He continued: “He took us on a yacht trip to Croatia. We were recording every day, we had three records for Snoop. When we came back, Snoop said ‘Yo, this could be something!’ That’s what set the plug, that’s what started it. That’s the last thing Snoop said to me: ‘Man, he’s really excited.’ And Snoop’s commitment to execution makes us all humble.”

As for Snoop and Dre’s chemistry in the studio, he added: “I’ve seen Snoop come in and not be in the mood to record, and he’ll still give it his all. Because a lot of people are intimidated to record with Dre. I’ve seen some of the biggest names not want to record with him because he’s that meticulous. He’ll make you do the line over and over a thousand times, then tomorrow say, ‘Yeah, I was wrong.’ That’s him. It takes a certain level of commitment to even rock with him.”

Snoop first announced that he’d be dropping an album with Dr. Dre while appearing on Stephen A. Smith’s Know Mercy podcast back in October. He hasn’t given the project an official release date, but he recently promised it’s arrival will come this summer.

Snoop Dogg & Dr. Dre Hint At Summer Release Date For “Missionary” Album

by

Since The Chronic, Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre have established themselves as hip-hop’s most trusted hitmakers. From The Chronic and Doggystyle to their Emmy-award-winning performance at the Super Bowl in 2023, the chemistry they’ve built for three decades hasn’t diminished within that time. Unfortunately, we haven’t received a ton of music from them recently, safe for “ETA” from Dre’s Grand Theft Auto: The Contract releases. So, when Snoop said that he and Dr. Dre locked into the studio for a new project, fans were understandably excited.

Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre confirmed they were cooking up a new album last year. However, they haven’t delivered much of an update since Snoop announced the album in October. “Me and Dr. Dre have been working on an album for the past two months, and it’ll be done in November,” Snoop told Stephen A. Smith on the Know Mercy podcast. “And it’s produced by Dr. Dre. It’s our 30th anniversary to Doggystyle. And the name of the album is Missionary.”

Snoop Dogg & Dr. Dre Are Taking Over The Summer 

Snoop confirmed that his upcoming Dr. Dre-produced album, Missionary would be coming later this year. The Long Beach native hit Instagram with a photo of himself and Dre, describing themselves as the “dynamic duo.” “Music comin summer 23,” he captioned the post. Though they haven’t set a release date yet, the two delivered countless summer anthems over the years. Songs like “Gin N Juice” and “Nuthin’ But A ‘G’ Thang” continue to ring out nearly three decades after their release, so there’s little doubt they won’t deliver this time around.

Snoop Dogg apparently has a big summer ahead of him. Along with the release of Missionary with Dr. Dre, he and Wiz Khalifa could have a sequel to Mac & Devin Go To High School in the works. The two rappers confirmed the news on Instagram earlier this week, revealing that the title would be High School Reunion. Similar to Missionary, Snoop and Wiz didn’t publicly announce a release date. However, we can imagine Snoop Dogg will be incredibly busy in the coming months. We’ll keep you posted on any more updates and read our history of Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg’s relationship here.
