Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre's brotherhood is still strong after 30 years with new album 'Missionary'
When it comes to music, there’s one person in particular Snoop Dogg trusts to steer the ship without question: hit-making producer Dr. Dre
LOS ANGELES (AP) — When it comes to music, there's one person in particular Snoop Dogg trusts enough to steer the ship without question: hit-making producer Dr. Dre.
Their bond, built over 30 years of brotherhood, began when Dr. Dre shaped Snoop's game-changing debut, “Doggystyle,” a cornerstone of hip-hop history. From young dreamers chasing stardom to legends cementing their legacies, the duo has always moved in sync.
Now, the dynamic pair reunites for Snoop's “Missionary,” his milestone 20th studio album, which releases Friday. In a music industry where lasting relationships are rare, their bond remains solid.
“We were just playing on our raw ability, and it worked ... But now you're dealing with professionals who are like perfectionists and skilled at what they do,” Snoop said while smoking a blunt inside his dressing room trailer. The 15-track project features several big-name guest appearances, including Eminem, 50 Cent, Sting, Method Man, Jelly Roll, Tom Petty and Jhené Aiko.
