Snoop Dogg is preparing new album with Dr. Dre this summer.
Earlier this year, the iconic Long Beach rapper took to Instagram to share a throwback photo of himself and Dre, while confirming that new material from them will be released in the coming months. “Dynamic. Duo,” he wrote in the caption. “Music comin summer 23.”
The teaser came just months after Snoop Dogg announced that he and Dr. Dre are working on a new album together called Missionary, which will serve as the spiritual successor to his 1993 debut album Doggystyle.
“I’ma tell you this, you’re the first one to hear this: me and Dr. Dre have been working on an album for the past two months,” Snoop said at the time. “And it’ll be done in November. It’s produced by Dr. Dre, it’s our 30th anniversary to Doggystyle. And the name of the album is Missionary.”
In a recent interview with AllHipHop magazine, Grammy Award-winning producer who goes by the name of Smitty, who has previously worked with both Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, gave some insight into the studio sessions and overall energy surrounding Snoop’s forthcoming album titled Missionary, which is being entirely produced by Dr. Dre.
“It’s gonna be great music. 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. Snoop Dogg called me and 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.’”
Yesterday, Snoop teased fans again with a new Instagram post from the studio session with Dr. Dre. “Coming soon” – he wrote in the caption. In the comment section, Kurupt wrote: “#RIGHT” and Busta Rhymes commented exploding head emojis. Check out the post below:
