Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre’s anticipated Missionary album is set to arrive in December, but the legendary West Coast duo have given fans a taste of what’s to come.
While doing an interviewed for a special Drink Champs episode at ComplexCon in Las Vegas over the weekend, Snoop and Dre previewed some hard-hitting tracks off their joint LP. Snoop reposted some of the clips to his Instagram and received rave reviews from fans, friends and rap peers. LeBron James, Jamie Foxx, Travis Kelce (who is dating Taylor Swift), Tony Yayo, Russ and more celebrities chimed in, giving Snoop his flowers in the comments section.
Fans showed love too. “Man I was not expecting a Snoop Dogg version of Message in a Bottle,” one person wrote after hearing the British rock band sample.
Another added, “Rap game’s OGs about to remind us what greatness sounds like!”
As seen in clips, Snoop has the lyrics memorized, and he was rapping along to some of his bars at ComplexCon.
Missionary is the first time Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg will unite on a full-length project since Snoop’s 1993 Doggystyle debut album. The hitmakers have kept details of the LP on the hush, but some special guests expected to appear on the album include Sting and Jelly Roll.
“We have Sting on the song. Man, it’s an amazing roster of artists that’s on this album. I shouldn’t have revealed that, to be honest,” Dre told Entertainment Tonight in August.
Hip-hop legends have been making their presence felt all 2024, with Ice Cube dropping on Friday (Nov. 22) and albums earlier this year from LL Cool J, Rakim and more.
Look for Missionary to arrive on Dec. 13.
