Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre are back. The West Coast icons announced on Wednesday (Oct. 30) that their Missionary album is slated to arrive on Dec. 13.
Snoop made the release date official with the unveiling of a hilarious trailer for the Doggystyle follow-up LP, which is fully produced by Dre.
“‘Missionary’ album drops 12.13. Produced by @drdre,” Snoop wrote to caption the clip.
In the video, a couple of men are going door-to-door preaching the Book of Mormon, but they’re left with their jaws on the floor when greeted by a woman in lingerie. “What the f–k? Your ad said you were dedicated to ‘missionary’ work,” she shouts before they run away in shock.
Snoop and Dre seem to be going in a different creative direction with their Missionary work. Following a few delays and a previously rumored November arrival, fans are excited the project has a concrete release date in December.

Missionary is the first time Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg will unite on a full-length project since Snoop’s 1993 Doggystyle debut album. The superstar duo has remained tight-lipped regarding details of the LP, but some special guests expected to appear on the album include Sting and Jelly Roll.
“We have Sting on the song. Man, it’s an amazing roster of artists that’s on this album. I shouldn’t have revealed that, to be honest,” Dre told Entertainment Tonight in August.
Jelly Roll gushed about the dream collaboration in an interview with Bootleg Kev earlier this month, where he confirmed his cameo.
“I won’t say anything about the record because he didn’t, but man, it’s special. It is really good,” he said. “I’m legitimately on the Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre album. It’s crazy. It’s unreal. Dude, Jimmy [Iovine] hits John [presumably Jelly Roll’s manager John Meneilly] and says, ‘Can we get on a FaceTime with Jelly Roll and Dre?’ I’m like, ‘Dr. Dre?’ I get on a FaceTime from my back porch. I’m like a kid. Jimmy’s there and I’m already like, ‘I cannot believe it’s Jimmy Iovine.’”
