Dr. Dre Insists New Snoop Dogg Album Is “Some Of The Best Music” Of His Career

Dr. Dre‘s latest remarks about his work on Snoop Dogg‘s forthcoming solo album has resulted in anticipation and expectations for the project reaching a crescendo.

According to the legendary boardsman, his production and Snoop’s rhymes on the album, titled Missionary, rivals anything they’ve ever done musically, including their landmark albums The Chronic and Doggystyle.

“This one is gonna show a different level of maturity with his lyrics and with my music,” Dre claimed while speaking with Entertainment Tonight. “I feel like this is some of the best music I’ve done in my career. [It’s been] much more fun.”

While Snoop Dogg has been one of the more consistent rap artists of all-time in terms of his album releases, Dr. Dre’s own credits have been comparatively sparse during that same period, making his involvement in the making of Missionary even more intruiging.

Billed as a companion piece to Snoop’s debut album, Doggystyle, Missionary was first teased by Michael “Harry-O” Harris—the convicted drug kingpin who provided the seed money to launch Death Row Records—in 2022.

Shortly after Harris’ revelation that Snoop and Dre were in the studio, Tha Doggfather himself confirmed the reports later that same month. “We’re cooking up a little something,” Snoop told ET Online at the time. “I don’t wanna talk about it too much, but we’re back together again.”

Last said to be releasing in July 2024, Missionary remains without an official date, but is tentatively slated to drop prior to year’s end.
