The announcement of the album came via an Instagram post on October 27, featuring a video that showcased logos for Death Row, Aftermath, and Interscope Records.

Jelly Roll later shared that the in-person collaboration was the best he has ever experienced, feeling welcomed and encouraged throughout the process.

Looking ahead, Dr. Dre predicts a return to musicianship in hip-hop, suggesting that a significant change is on the horizon.

In a recent interview, Snoop Dogg criticized the current trend of beatmakers dominating the industry, arguing that it has diminished the fundamentals of music.

Snoop hinted at an impressive lineup of guest artists for 'Missionary,' including Jelly Roll and the legendary Sting.

Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre are set to release their first collaborative album in over three decades, titled 'Missionary,' with a planned release in December 2024.

Snoop also expressed a desire for more originality in rap, encouraging aspiring artists to find their unique sound and stand out in a scene he believes is filled with copycats.

Jelly Roll, who will feature on the album, described his writing session with Dr. Dre as an incredible experience, praising Dre's supportive and encouraging style.

Dr. Dre emphasized his preference for albums produced by a single producer, believing this approach fosters a cohesive sound.

He reiterated the importance of collaboration with a single producer for continuity in an album, which he sees as essential for artistic integrity.

Accompanying the video, Snoop Dogg included Dr. Dre's iconic song 'The Next Episode' and used emojis to convey excitement about the upcoming project.

During a FaceTime call facilitated by Jimmy Iovine, Dr. Dre offered Jelly Roll the choice to collaborate either remotely or in person, to which Jelly Roll eagerly opted for the latter.
