The LaRussell collab isn’t the only new music on the horizon from Snoop.
Earlier this week, Dr. Dre upped the excitement for his and Snoop Dogg‘s forthcoming album Missionary by calling it “some of the best music” he’s ever made.

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight following his recent Olympics performance, the legendary producer shared more details about the eagerly anticipated project, which he’s confident will be another jewel in his acclaimed catalog.
When asked about working on Missionary versus Snoop’s 1993 debut Doggystyle, which he also produced, Dre said: “It was much more fun, to be honest, because we were kids at that time. Snoop may have been 18 or 19 years old and I think I’m six years older than him, so we were kids at that time.
“This one’s gonna show a different level of maturity with his lyrics and with my music. I feel like this is some of the best music I’ve done in my career […] I’m not playing.”
He added: “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.”

Dre also revealed that he and Snoop are close to finishing the album and are aiming for a November release, which would coincide with the 31st anniversary of Doggystyle (which falls on November 23).
