Snoop Dogg’s latest single, “Gorgeous” featuring Jhené Aiko, has just dropped, offering fans an exciting preview of his highly anticipated album Missionary, set for release on December 13th.
Produced by the legendary Dr. Dre, alongside Blu2th, Preach Bal4, and FredWreck, the track—released via Death Row, Aftermath, and Interscope—delivers the signature style that Snoop and Dre have perfected over the years. “Gorgeous” showcases Snoop’s laid-back yet iconic flow alongside Aiko’s soulful vocals, creating a track that feels both timeless and current, blending nostalgic West Coast vibes with a fresh energy.
This single marks a milestone: Missionary will be only Snoop and Dre’s second full-length album collaboration since Doggystyle, Snoop’s groundbreaking 1993 debut. Their partnership has defined West Coast hip-hop, with tracks like “Nuthin’ but a ‘G’ Thang” shaping a sound that’s not just influential but iconic. Decades later, Missionary builds on that legacy, introducing new collaborators like Eminem, 50 Cent, Method Man, Sting, and a posthumous appearance from Tom Petty.
Snoop’s career continues to be a testament to his longevity and adaptability in the industry. He’s part of an elite group—alongside Mariah Carey and Jay-Z—who have scored Billboard Top 10 hits across four consecutive decades, from the ’90s to the ’20s. Classics like “What’s My Name?” and “Drop It Like It’s Hot” cemented Snoop’s status in hip-hop history, while his recent chart success with “Bad Decisions” alongside Benny Blanco and BTS shows he’s always evolving.
With Missionary, Snoop and Dre aren’t just reuniting for another album; they’re reigniting a sound that shaped hip-hop culture. Snoop describes this project as a bridge between past and future, blending decades of music history with modern innovation. “Gorgeous” is the first taste, combining that classic West Coast vibe with fresh layers that prove Snoop and Dre still know how to raise the bar.
