Snoop Dogg has revealed the release date for his forthcoming Dr. Dre-produced album, Missionary.
With a hilarious trailer, Snoop announced in a post to X that the LP will arrive on December 13.

In the clip, a pair of nerdy Mormons walk up to a picturesque house thinking they were going to be spreading the word of God – only to be met by a voluptuous woman in lingerie who thought their “missionary work” meant something totally different when she booked them.

During an interview at the Bloomberg Screentime conference in Los Angeles earlier this month, Snoop Dogg teased Missionary’s star-studded supporting cast.
“This new record is gonna put me in a position to probably have that final big stadium tour ’cause there’s a lot of features on this record that I’m excited about that are big-name artists,” he said.

“I got a feature from Jelly Roll and Sting. I’m so happy that me and Sting got a record that’s so good.”
He also shed light on the making of Missionary, likening it to his early career when Dre would take the reins in the studio.

“In my mind, I made it up that I’m gonna go back to being Snoop Doggy Dogg,” the rap legend said. “I want to be the student, the kid, the passenger. I want to humble myself and go in the studio and allow him to tell me what I need to do and produce me.
“You discovered me when I was a rock, you created this diamond, so I’ma allow you to shine it one more time.”
Last week, Jelly Roll spoke about his appearance on the album in an interview with Bootleg Kev, revealing that a FaceTime call sparked the song.
“I won’t say anything about the record because he didn’t, but man, it’s special. It is really good,” he gushed. “I’m legitimately on the Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre album. It’s crazy. It’s unreal. Dude, Jimmy [Iovine] hits John [presumably Jelly Roll’s manager John Meneilly] and says, ‘Can we get on a FaceTime with Jelly Roll and Dre?’ I’m like, ‘Dr. Dre?!’ I get on a FaceTime from my back porch. I’m like a kid! Jimmy’s there and I’m already like, ‘I cannot believe it’s Jimmy Iovine.’”

He continued: “It was the most awesome session I ever did. I walked in was just like, the biggest warm hug. […] It was really fun. […] I had a moment where I was like, I belong in those rooms! [In my mind], I’m still the kid coming to the lunch table. I wanna prove that I deserve the table and I came in with that kind of attitude and it was really cool.”
