It may seem like Snoop Dogg has collaborated with basically every musician in existence, but the California rapper announced his upcoming record will feature two exciting names.

At the Bloomberg Screentime conference on Thursday, Oct. 10, Snoop shared details of what to expect from his first new solo album since 2022’s BODR (Bacc On Death Row). “I got a feature from Jelly Roll and Sting,” the “Gin and Juice” rapper announced.

Snoop’s collaboration with Sting, 73, is a full-circle moment for the rapper, who’s “so happy” with the song they made. He also shared his feelings about meeting The Police frontman.

Dr. Dre Jokes His First Album Work with Snoop Dogg Since Doggystyle Will Be Called Missionary
“Like a child that’s infatuated with somebody as a singer, and you get a chance to meet them and they give you everything you expected, that’s what happens with me all the time,” Snoop said. “I meet people I’ve always wanted to meet and they’re everything I wanted them to be.”

Appearing on Missionary will mark the latest foray back into hip-hop for Jelly, 39, as the country crooner started his career as a rapper in 2003. He was recently featured on Eminem’s “Somebody Save Me,” which samples Jelly’s own hit “Save Me.”

Aside from the two confirmed features, Missionary is also set to be entirely produced by Dr. Dre, who helped launch his career after signing Snoop, 52, to what would eventually become Death Row Records.
