One of the greatest duos in hip-hop is back. On Thursday, October 31st, Snoop Dogg revealed the tracklist for his upcoming Dr. Dre-produced album, Missionary, which will include guest appearances by Sting, Eminem, and more. He also dropped the album’s first single, “Gorgeous,” featuring Jhené Aiko.
Due on December 13th via Death Row, Aftermath Entertainment, and Interscope, Missionary will mark Snoop’s first album fully produced by Dre since his 1993 debut, Doggystyle. Spanning 15 tracks, the new album’s guest features will also include Jelly Roll, Method Man, 50 Cent, Dre himself, and more. Tom Petty is also credited on a track called “Last Dance With Mary Jane,” which presumably samples his song “Mary Jane’s Last Dance.” Check out the artwork and full tracklist below.
The single, “Gorgeous,” has a lot of hallmarks of a great Snoop track, with a mid-tempo beat and a euphoric chorus hook sung by Aiko. In between, Snoop delivers lyrics referring to his own career and proclaiming his rightful place as leader of the pack. Today, the single arrived alongside a lyric video. Watch it below.
