Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre, two of the most iconic names in hip-hop, have officially dropped their long-awaited album, Missionary. The project, which serves as a sequel to Dre’s legendary 2001 album, is already being celebrated as a modern classic, blending nostalgic West Coast vibes with contemporary production.

A Reunion of Legends

Artists like Kendrick Lamar, Anderson .Paak, and Eminem contribute verses, adding their unique styles to the project. These collaborations not only highlight the duo’s influence on the genre but also bridge the gap between generations of hip-hop artists.

One of the album’s most talked-about tracks, “Legacy,” features a poignant verse from Kendrick Lamar, reflecting on the impact of West Coast rap and the artists who paved the way.
