The track, released today via Death Row, Aftermath and Interscope and produced by Dre alongside Blu2th, Preach Bal4, and FredWreck, is the first official single from Snoop’s upcoming album Missionary, set for release on Dec. 13.

With “Gorgeous,” Snoop channels his signature West Coast style, blending laid-back rap verses with Aiko’s ethereal vocals to deliver a track that’s smooth and reflective, an early taste of the creative synergy expected on Missionary.

“Gorgeous” isn’t just a new single; it represents the continuation of a storied partnership between Snoop and Dre that has shaped hip-hop since the early ’90s. Their history began with the theme song for the 1992 film Deep Cover and quickly escalated with The Chronic, where Snoop’s voice became synonymous with Dre’s groundbreaking production style.

The collaboration peaked when Dre produced Snoop’s debut album, Doggystyle, which landed at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and cemented Snoop’s status as a hip-hop heavyweight. Since then, Snoop has amassed 12 Billboard Top 10 hits, with career-defining tracks like “Gin and Juice” and “Drop It Like It’s Hot,” the latter marking his first No. 1 single.

Dr. Dre’s role in Snoop’s career has been pivotal, with each collaboration underscoring their mutual influence on the sound and legacy of West Coast hip-hop. Snoop’s recent milestone of achieving Billboard Top 10 hits across four consecutive decades—joining the ranks of Jay-Z and Mariah Carey—only highlights his enduring relevance in the industry.

Alongside Jhené Aiko, “Gorgeous” sets the stage for Missionary, which will feature an array of high-profile guests, from Eminem and 50 Cent to Sting and the late Tom Petty.
