Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre‘s new album Missionary is coming sooner than fans may think, according to Tha Dogg Pound.
Fresh off the release of their own new project W.A.W.G. (We All We Got), Daz Dillinger and Kurupt appeared on Drink Champs this past weekend where they spoke about the highly-anticipated Missionary, which will see Dre produce an entire Snoop album for the first time in over 30 years.
The West Coast duo appeared to accidentally reveal that the album will drop in July when talking about their history with the two rap legends.
“[Snoop] Dogg sacrificed ’cause he got an album dropping in July. This album with Dr. Dre dropping in July,” he said.
Daz then added: “He got an album coming out next month with Dr. Dre.”
The pair then claimed that the album would be a joint release between the now Snoop-owned Death Row Records, Dre’s Aftermath Entertainment and Interscope Records.

Snoop Dogg previously gave an update about the progress of Missionary earlier this year.
“I’m in the lab with Dr. Dre right now. That’s Death Row/Aftermath. We finishing that up right now, tidying up the pieces to that. He’s a perfectionist,” he said on former NBA players Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson’ All the Smoke podcast.
Revealing the origins of the project, Tha Doggfather said: “The n-gga called me one day about two years ago. He was like, ‘N-gga, come over, let me do a couple of songs with you.’

“I go over there and he like, ‘N-gga, let me do your album.’ And I’m like, ‘Alright, let’s go!’ We go in, knock out a couple of songs. He hit me back: ‘I need two more days.’ I got that call probably about 85 times. This n-gga need two more days all the time.
“But when you hear what we have and how he got me rapping, it’s like a grown Snoop Dogg. There’s some growth to him. 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.”
Snoop went on to call the material they’ve recorded for the album “masterful” and praised Dre for using his voice “like an instrument.”
He also previously indicated that Missionary will serve as the spiritual successor to his 1993 debut Doggystyle.
