Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre is expected Missionary album is due in December, but the legendary West Coast duo have given fans a taste of what’s to come.

While doing an interview for a special one Drink Champs episode at ComplexCon in Las Vegas over the weekend, Snoop and Dre showed off some hard-hitting tracks from their joint LP. Snoop reposted some of the clips on his Instagram and received rave reviews from fans, friends and rap peers. LeBron James, Jamie Foxx, Travis Kelce (who dates Taylor Swift), Tony Yayo, Russ and more celebrities chimed in and gave Snoop his flowers in the comments section.

Fans also showed love. “Man, I wasn’t expecting a Snoop Dogg version of Message in a Bottle,” one person wrote after hearing the British rock band’s sample.

Another added: “The OGs of the rap game are about to remind us what greatness sounds like!”

As seen in the clip, Snoop has the lyrics memorized and rapped along to some of his bars at ComplexCon.

Missionary is the first time Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg reunite for a full-length project since Snoop’s 1993 Doggy style debut album. The hitmakers have kept details of the LP under wraps, but some special guests expected to appear on the album include Sting and Jelly Roll.

“We have Sting on the song. Man, that’s an amazing list of artists that are on this album. I shouldn’t have revealed that, to be honest,” Dre told Entertainment tonight in August.

Hip-hop legends have been making their presence felt throughout 2024, with Ice Cube dropping Friday (November 22) and albums earlier this year from LL Cool J, Rakim and more.

Look for Missionary to arrive on December 13.
