Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre have previewed a few tracks off their forthcoming Missionary album to high praise, including their collaboration with Sting.
While appearing on a live episode of Drink Champs from ComplexCon in Las Vegas over the weekend, the iconic West Coast duo shared some snippets from the new LP, which is due out on December 13.

Snoop then shared clips of the moment to Instagram, where the likes of LeBron James, Jamie Foxx, Travis Kelce and more hopped into the comments to react to what they heard.
“Crazy!!!!” Foxx wrote with fire emojis, while Kelce also shared fire emojis.

“LFG Unk!!” Bron wrote.
While Sting’s voice isn’t heard in the preview, the song in the third slide interpolates “Message In A Bottle” from his band The Police, so it’s likely that’s their collab together. Based on the previously-released tracklist, the song is titled “Another Part Of Me.”
Serving as the belated 30th anniversary sequel to Snoop Dogg’s 1993 album Doggystyle, Missionary is produced entirely by Dr. Dre and marks the pair’s first full-length collaboration since Snoop’s aforementioned debut.

The release date was announced last month, accompanied by a hilarious trailer in which two Mormons knock on the door of a woman’s house, only to get the shock of their lives when she answers the door wearing sexy lingerie.
“What the fuck? Your ad said you were dedicated to missionary work!” she barks, clearly expecting something different to religious enlightenment.
Snoop and Dre have both set the bar high for Missionary, with Tha Doggfather calling it “masterful” in an interview earlier this year.
When you hear what we have and how he got me rapping, it’s like a grown Snoop Dogg,” he said on former NBA players Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson’s All the Smoke podcast.

“It’s the way he selects his bars, it’s the way he uses his voice. [Dr. Dre] uses me like a fucking robot and I love it because I love to be produced. I love to be challenged.”
In addition to Sting, the 15-track Missionary will also include Eminem, 50 Cent, Method Man, Jelly Roll, Sting, Tom Petty, Jhené Aiko and BJ The Chicago Kid.
