Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre are back together for the highly anticipated album Missionary, marking another chapter in their legendary partnership. The duo, who have been inseparable since Snoop’s 1993 debut Doggystyle, reunite after three decades of groundbreaking music. Doggystyle catapulted Snoop into stardom, with Dre’s production on hits like “Gin and Juice” solidifying their dynamic collaboration. Now, following the 30th anniversary of that iconic album, the two are ready to roll out Missionary, Snoop’s twentieth studio album.
At 53, Snoop reflects on the evolution of his artistry in this new project, praising Dre for bringing out a more mature, refined version of himself. “When you hear what we have and how he’s got me rapping, it’s like a grown Snoop Dogg,” he shared on the All the Smoke podcast. “There’s some growth to him. It’s the way he selects his bars, it’s the way he uses his voice.” As Snoop enjoys his multifaceted empire—from his collaborations with Martha Stewart to his role in the Olympic torch relay—Missionary promises to showcase a more seasoned, evolved side of the rapper, while maintaining the chemistry that has made this duo one of the most influential in hip-hop history.
