Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre’s forthcoming album Missionary will feature appearances from Eminem, 50 Cent, and several other prominent artists.
The tracklist for this highly anticipated album was revealed on Thursday (October 31) through its pre-release listing on Apple Music.
Missionary consists of 15 tracks and includes collaborations with longtime associates like Em and 50, along with Method Man, Jelly Roll, Sting, Tom Petty, Jhené Aiko, and BJ The Chicago Kid.
It also showcases emerging talents such as DMV lyricist K.A.A.N., Chicago rapper Fat Money (who has worked on Kanye West’s Donda 2 and Vultures 1), and singer Cocoa Sarai.
Eminem and 50 Cent are featured on the track “Gunz N Smoke,” which marks the first collaboration between Snoop, Dre, Em, and 50 on a single song. Additionally, Jelly Roll and Tom Petty join on “Last Dance with Mary Jane,” a fitting title for a prolific cannabis enthusiast like Snoop.
Jhené Aiko will be featured on “Gorgeous,” the lead single set for release on Friday (November 1). The album is scheduled to drop on December 13 through Death Row, Aftermath, and Interscope.
The album cover for Missionary has also been unveiled, showcasing a black and gold condom wrapper, promising “aural pleasure.”

As a long-awaited sequel marking the 30th anniversary of Snoop Dogg’s 1993 album Doggystyle, Missionary is entirely produced by Dr. Dre and represents their first full-length collaboration since Snoop’s debut.
The release date was announced earlier this week, accompanied by a humorous trailer featuring two Mormons who get an unexpected surprise when a woman answers the door in lingerie.
“What the fuck? Your ad said you were dedicated to missionary work!” she exclaims, clearly anticipating something quite different.
Both Snoop and Dre have raised expectations for Missionary, with Tha Doggfather calling it “masterful” in a recent interview.
“When you hear what we have and how he got me rapping, it’s like a grown Snoop Dogg,” he mentioned on the All the Smoke podcast with former NBA players Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson.
“It’s the way he selects his bars, it’s the way he uses his voice. [Dr. Dre] uses me like a fucking robot and I love it because I love to be produced. I love to be challenged.”
Dre echoed this in an interview with Entertainment Tonight, expressing that Missionary showcases a new level of maturity in Snoop’s lyrics and his own music.
“This one’s gonna show a different level of maturity with [Snoop’s] lyrics and with my music. I feel like this is some of the best music I’ve done in my career,” he stated. “I’m not playing.
“The musicians I’m working with right now and some of the writers in the studio that are helping us… Snoop is really excited about this and so am I. I think people are gonna really enjoy this.”
Snoop Dogg has also hinted at a tour in support of Missionary in 2025, although nothing has been confirmed at this time.
