Snoop Dogg – Missionary [Album Stream]
The wait is finally over! Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre are back with their highly anticipated new LP, “Missionary”.
Despite the contributions of other renowned producers like DJ Battlecat and The Neptunes to Snoop Dogg’s expansive discography, nothing matches the synergy he shares with Dr. Dre. From Dre’s groundbreaking debut “The Chronic”, their collaborations have set a high standard that others have rarely achieved. Over the years, they’ve remained creatively connected through projects like Snoop’s “The Blue Carpet Treatment” (2006) and Dre’s “Compton” (2015). Now, with the highly anticipated release of Missionary, their first full-length collaboration in decades, they pay homage to the iconic “Doggystyle” while offering a fresh, evolved sound.
In “Missionary”, Snoop takes center stage on the mic, but Dre’s presence is unmistakable. Tracks like “Outta Da Blue” showcase Dre’s unmistakable style, while “Hard Knocks” highlights his knack for hard-hitting beats. The album’s closer, “The Negotiator”, brings a subtle twist to classic G-funk vibes. Standout tracks like “Last Dance With Mary Jane” reimagine Tom Petty’s legacy, while “Another Part of Me” cleverly integrates elements of The Police’s rock sound. Guest appearances by artists such as 50 Cent and Eminem on “Guns N Smoke” add an extra layer of nostalgia, proving “Missionary” is as much a nod to the past as it is a step forward.
