Still Snoop Dogg and D.R.E — the West Coast dream team is back at it again after three decades!
Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre have reunited for a long-awaited collaboration, dropping their album Missionary on Friday, December 13, via Death Row Records, Aftermath Entertainment, and Interscope Records. This marks their first joint full-length project since Snoop’s iconic 1993 debut, Doggystyle.
The 15-track album features a star-studded lineup, including Jhené Aiko on the hit single Gorgeous, which recently brought the duo back to Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart after a 13-year hiatus. Other big-name collaborators include Sting on Another Part of Me, 50 Cent and Eminem on Gunz n Smoke, and BJ the Chicago Kid on two tracks, Fore Play and Now or Never.
Missionary draws inspiration from their West Coast hip-hop roots, blending Snoop’s laid-back delivery with Dre’s signature production. The album also pays homage to the legacy of Doggystyle, which topped the Billboard 200 in 1993 and produced the Grammy-nominated single Gin and Juice.
This release is Snoop’s first since 2022, when he dropped BODR (Bacc On Death Row) and the debut album of the supergroup Mount Westmore.
