Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre‘s upcoming album Missionary wil boast appearances from Eminem, 50 Cent and a host other big names.
The tracklist for the eagerly anticipated project surfaced on Thursday (October 31) via its pre-release listing on Apple Music.
It’s revealed that Missionary clocks in at 15 songs and features guest spots from longtime collaborators Em and 50, as well as Method Man, Jelly Roll, Sting, Tom Petty, Jhené Aiko and BJ The Chicago Kid.
The diverse supporting cast also includes lesser-known names such as DMV lyricist K.A.A.N., Chicago rapper/songwriter Fat Money (who contributed to Kanye West‘s Donda 2 and Vultures 1) and singer Cocoa Sarai.
Eminem and 50 Cent feature on a song called “Gunz N Smoke,” marking the first time that Snoop, Dre, Em and 50 have collaborated on the same track, while Jelly Roll and Tom Petty guest on “Last Dance with Mary Jane,” an intriguing title for a prolific weed smoker like Snoop.
Jhené Aiko lends her sultry voice to “Gorgeous,” which will be released on Friday (November 1) as the lead single. The album itself arrives on December 13 via Death Row, Aftermath and Interscope.
In addition to the tracklist, the cover art for Missionary has also been revealed and depicts a black and gold condom wrapper that promises “aural pleasure.”
Check out the artwork and tracklist below.

Serving as the belated 30th anniversary sequel to Snoop Dogg’s 1993 album Doggystyle, Missionary is produced entirely by Dr. Dre and marks the pair’s first full-length collaboration since Snoop’s aforementioned debut.
The release date was announced earlier this week, accompanied by a hilarious trailer in which two Mormons knock on the door of a woman’s house, only to get the shock of their lives when she answers the door wearing sexy lingerie.
“What the fuck? Your ad said you were dedicated to missionary work!” she barks, clearly expecting something different to religious enlightenment.
Snoop and Dre have both set the bar high for Missionary, with Tha Doggfather calling it “masterful” in an interview earlier this year.
“When you hear what we have and how he got me rapping, it’s like a grown Snoop Dogg,” he said on former NBA players Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson’s All the Smoke podcast.
“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 sentiment in a chat with Entertainment Tonight in August, putting Missionary up there with some of his best work.
“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 declared. “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 teased a 2025 tour in support of Missionary, although nothing has been confirmed as of writing.
So now we know we ain’t getting a west coast banger. Now we gotta pray we get at least somehow decent album because that tracklist is not it people.
Felt the same when I seen this damn track list
This is giving me Dr. Dre – Compton vibes and I don’t very much care for that.
My exact first thought… left over Compton bullshit, better not be!
A bunch of old guys making an album called Missionary. Sounds pretty homosexual to me.
I was hoping for a way better album cover. Since it’s supposed to be the closing sequel to the classic Doggystyle album, they should’ve based it on the original artwork, but instead have the dogs dressed as missionaries at a church. That’s literally what I was expecting. On top of that, you were supposed to close out with a banger so no tracks with Tha Dogg Pound, RBX, Lady Of Rage, The D.O.C., Warren G, posthumous Nate Dogg vocals, no soul singers like The Dramatics? I clearly had high hopes since him and Dre reunited, but this is very underwhelming. The highlight of the album will clearly be the feature with 50 and Eminem and we know it will be a mediocre verse from Em and his annoying voice rapping about absolutely nothing. On top of that, if you were going to have Method Man, at least include Redman. This is my fault though, I should’ve known better. Nonetheless, shoutout to Snoop.
Facts! Also, don’t forget Tha Eastsidaz! Aside from that, yeah, I’ll pass on this one.
west coast fell the fuck off decades ago. Snoop been trash I’ll forward past his verse to see what Em got to say and hear Dre’s production. Other than that, fuck a snoop dogg album niqqa🖕🤣🖕
GAY GREG 😂
Ladies and gentlemen. Lets calm down and give it a chance. You have to remember the doggystyle days were 30 years ago. Snoop and Dre have grown. Trust the process and see what the single sounds like.
@earl true. They have both grown… past their primes. Same with Em. Same with 50, though 50 held on to his style more than any of them. But cmon, they really should’ve gotten someone like Xzibit at least. I’m not expecting a great album. A decent album? Sure. About as good as Games recent albums. They’re fine. Just not great.
Terrible album cover.
Let’s see yours.
@cappadoona oh yeah, because you can’t have an opinion unless you are a star yourself? Guess you can’t say anything about the presidential election, unless you yourself are an elected official. Be honest, you’re a butthurt fan who knows that the album cover sucks. It does. It’s childish. It’s something a teenager might find funny, that’s it.
No Anderson Paak??? Damn snoop this is why doggystyle stays your only best work.
Im so fucking happy for KAAN to get on this project, the dudes dope asf and more people need to hear about him!

Too many features. Tom Petty? Sting? Jelly Roll? BJ the Chicago Kid twice? Coco Sarai twice? If this album isn’t wack it will be a miracle.
How is BJ The Chicago kid wack? He’s been a mainstay in rap for years now GTFO. That’s a bad take.
No Lady of Rage introduction?
What the fuck? Where’s the West Coast features? Kurupt? DJ Quik? Too $hort? Kendrick?
The lead single gorgeous sounds very dope. Snoop flow and lyrics are very sharp and dre’s beat is really on point. The hook as well is great. You can tell they took there time on this. I suspect a classic in the making for sure.
You’re all criticizing an album that hasn’t even been released, judging the cover and featuring! clear demonstration that in 2024 image and collaborations matter more for all of you expert online commentators, rather than the desire to make and listen to music. listen to that loser Travis Scotto and don’t screw up
This album is going to be lame! 15 tracks and 12 of them have features! Features that are an odd match to say the least. Where is the Daz and Korupt feature? This is about to be a letdown like that LL album. 50 years of hip hop ???? The only ones that have truly brought the heat is Nas and Common
