*Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre have joined forces once again, releasing their highly anticipated new album “Missionary” and a short film to accompany it.
The project, produced by Dr.Dre via Death Row, Aftermath, and Interscope, marks another milestone in their iconic careers. Per the press release, the album features Sting on the “Message in a Bottle”-sampling “Another Part of Me” showcasing both Snoop’s rugged flow and mellifluous singing voice, while “Last Dance With Mary Jane” features the voice and harmonica of the late Tom Petty in Snoop’s heartfelt ode to weed with Jelly Roll.
“I have this video clip with Tom Petty saying ‘If Dre ever samples the song Mary Jane’s Last Dance, he’s going to have an instant hit on his hands,’” Dre told the Los Angeles Times. “It comes along with a massive amount of trust. And you know, Snoop’s putting his entire career and his legacy and everything that he’s built in my hands. So I have to really nurture that and make sure it’s presented in the right way.”
“Missionary” is packed with special guests, including Eminem, 50 Cent, Method Man, BJ the Chicago Kid, Alus, K.A.A.N., Smitty, and Cocoa Sarai. The album marks the first collaborative effort from Snoop and Dre since Snoop’s 1993 debut album “Doggystyle.”
“We [still] in love with what we do. I’m peaking right now and Dr. Dre see that,” said Snoop.
“He brings the best out of me because he’s particular about everything I say, the way I deliver it, the fuckin’ music and the concept of the songs,” the hip-hop star added.
“It’s like me being a student again,” Snoop told the Associated Press. “I get a chance to go back to school … and let him take me on a journey and find places for me to go that I never been.”
“We’ve been fortunate enough to have our fingers on the pulse of the audience for this entire time,” Dre said. “It’s us being organic and our true selves and the audience gravitated toward that. How fuckin’ blessed and lucky are we that that shit happened?”
