Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg are on of the greatest tandems in Hip-Hop history. The two who united for work on classic albums like The Chronic and Doggystyle are looking to recapture that magic and on the 50th anniversary of Hip-Hop.
Snoop hit Instagram to continue to tease the forthcoming album, Missionary, writing, “Dynamic. Duo. Music comin summer 23”
If the album indeed comes this summer, it aligns with Snoop’s induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. The next class features Black music icons Snoop Dogg, Sade Adu, and Teddy Riley. The 52nd annual induction and awards gala is set for Thursday, June 15, at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City.
Hearing the news, Snoop Dogg hit Instagram and celebrated the achievement in a video.
“Damn, Songwriters Hall of Fame? That’s big,” Snoop opened. “And just to think, I’ve been telling people for the past seven years, ‘Who you wanna do a song with, Snoop?’ I’d always say, Sade. And now we going to the Songwriters Hall of Fame on the same day. And not only that, Teddy Riley? New Jack Swing? I’m going in with him? Man, God is good. Just a little kid from the East side of Long Beach with a big ass dream.”
In addition to Sade, Snoop and Riley, Gloria Estefan, Glen Ballard, and Liz Rose are among the songwriters that will be included.
According to Billboard, this will be the fifth induction ceremony in which a songwriter affiliated with rap or hip-hop will be recognized. Snoop joins Jay-Z (2017), Jermaine Dupri (2018), Missy Elliott (2019), and The Neptunes’ Chad Hugo and Pharrell Williams (2022).
“The music industry does not exist without songwriters delivering great songs first,” SHOF chairman Nile Rodgers (a 2016 SHOF inductee) said in a statement. “Without them there is no recorded music, no concert business, no merch … nothing, it all starts with the song and the songwriter.”
