Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg release “Missionary” short film

Snoop Dogg has dropped Missionary, his highly anticipated Dr. Dre-produced new album. The 16 song project features Eminem, 50 Cent, BJ The Chicago Kid, Coco Sarai, Method Man, Sting, K.A.A.N., Jelly Roll, Alus, and Jhene Aiko. Dr. Dre hasn’t produced a full Snoop project since 1993’s Doggystyle, Snoop’s full length debut. Snoop and Dre’s reunion hits hard sonically, with Dre’s signature crisp drums and orchestrated production, and Snoop’s updated rhyme flow.

Some of the album’s highlights are the songs with featured MC’s. “Skyscrapers” sees Method Man shine as usual. On a recent Drink Champs episode Meth spoke of the collaboration. “Every time I work with Dre I feel like I need a do over. The first time that I spit a verse with him, it wasn’t up to par for me, and Dre was gracious enough not to put it put, even though it leaked anyway. The next shot I got is for [Missionary]. He got a lotta fire s–t on that joint, and still feel I could have did a little bit more, but I’m always gonna feel like that.”

“Gunz N Smoke” features 50 Cent spitting a triplet styled verse, and Eminem delivering a memorable multi syllabic verse. Other standouts include “Outta Da Blue”, “Gorgeous”, and “Now Or Never”.

Snoop and Dre also dropped the Missionary short film, which features a full script starring Dre and Snoop with cameos from 50 Cent, Jhene Aiko and narration by Method Man. There is also a dead body in the film that wears Eminem Air Jordan’s. Watch it below:

Snoop Dogg & Dr. Dre drop “Missionary” album

Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre dropped their highly-anticipated Missionary album under Death Row Records, Aftermath Entertainment and Interscope Records. It features previously released singles “Gorgeous” (featuring Jhené Aiko), “Outta da Blue” (featuring Alus) and “Another Part of Me” (featuring Sting). “Gorgeous” helped the iconic West Coast hip-hop duo return to Billboard‘s R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart for the first time in 13 years when the song debuted at No. 29 last month (it later peaked at No. 26).

The 15-track project also features other collaborations with BJ the Chicago Kid (“Fore Play” and “Now or Never”), Tom Petty and Jelly Roll (“Last Dance with Mary Jane”), K.A.A.N. (“Pressure” and “Sticky Situation”), Method Man and Smitty (“Skyscrapers”), Cocoa Sarai (“Fire” and “Sticky Situation”), 50 Cent and Eminem (“Gunz n Smoke”), and Dem Jointz, Stalone and Fat Money (“Gangsta Pose”).

It’s their first full-length project together since Snoop’s 1993 Doggystyle debut studio album, which topped both the Billboard 200 and Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts. Its Billboard Hot 100 top 10 hit single, “Gin and Juice,” earned a nomination for best rap solo performance at the 1995 Grammy Awards.

Missionary is also the first project Snoop has put out since 2022, when he released his 19th studio album BODR (Bacc On Death Row) and the debut album of the West Coast rap supergroup Mount Rushmore (Snoop, E-40, Too Short and Ice Cube), Snoop Cube 40 $hort. You can stream the album below:

Snoop Dogg & Dr. Dre – “Gunz N Smoke” ft. 50 Cent & Eminem

Snoop Dogg has just released his Missionary album under Death Row Records, Aftermath Entertainment and Interscope Records! Production is entirely handled by the one and only Dr. Dre and Snoop himself.

The album features Eminem, Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, Sting, Method Man, Jelly Roll, Tom Petty, BJ the Chicago Kid, Jhené Aiko, Alus, K.A.A.N., Smitty, Dem Jointz, Cocoa Sarai, Stalone, and Fat Money. It will follow both of his albums that were released in 2022; his nineteenth studio album, BODR and Snoop Cube 40 $hort, which he was a member of the West Coast hip supergroup, Mount Westmore.

Eminem and 50 Cent are featured on a song titled “Gunz N Smoke” which is co-produced by C.S. Armstrong. In the song Eminem once again brings forth his “rap persona,” Slim Shady, to contrast his rebellious, unrestrained alter ego with his more mature and composed self by showing how Slim Shady would act in similar circumstances: “Comin’ up? So like that syrup, they canceled / I’ma say, “F–k you and your momma,” then blame my rap persona…F–k around and buck these h-es, ain’t talkin’ no luxury clothes / Two nines I tuck, see those? Like Rock & Roll Hall of Famers, try and duck deez, yo / Hey, what the f–k you want? Didn’t I just see you yesterday? F–k outta here, f–k it, b–ch.” Em raps.

Furthermore, Em’s induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2022 stands as one of his most significant and prestigious accomplishments as a rapper…You can stream the song below:

Snoop Dogg announces new album produced by Dr. Dre

During the recent appearance on Stephen A. Smith’s Know Mercy podcast, Snoop Dogg revealed he’s preparing new album, produced by Dr. Dre. The project is titled Missionary and is due to be finished in November, although release date is still unclear.

Next month will mark 29 years since Snoop and Dre joined forces on the former’s first album Doggystyle, which extended the winning partnership they formed on 1992’s The Chronic — to record-breaking sales.

“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. 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.” said the West Coast legend.

Back in August, the legendary duo were spotted in the studio with Eminem, who posted a photo of their session on his social media accounts with the caption: “just a few bros..hangin out.”

Weeks later, more photos of Snoop and Dre’s studio reunion surfaced, showing the longtime collaborators sharing a laugh while seemingly getting down to serious business. Diddy also swung by the session and revealed Dre coached him through a vocal take, calling it a “dream come true.”

“Dr. Dre and I are cooking up a little something. I don’t wanna talk about it too much, but we’re back together again. It’s been 30 years since we worked on a record, and we’re doin’ something, we’re workin’ on something.” told Snoop Dogg to Entertainment Tonight at the premiere of his Day Shift movie back in August.

Elsewhere in the interview, Snoop talks about growing up in Long Beach, life as a gangbanger, the important advice he received behind bars, and the meeting with legendary producer Dr. Dre that changed his life. He also details his business acumen, and advice for the next generation of artists entering the game. You can listen to the new interview of Snoop below:
