Snoop Dogg Previews New Album “Missionary” and Teases Fortnite Collaborations
Legendary rapper Snoop Dogg is setting the stage for his latest album, Missionary, by sharing exclusive details about some of its standout tracks. Fans eagerly await the album, especially after Snoop’s recent reveal of its star-studded tracklist, which includes collaborations with iconic artists like Method Man, Sting, Jhené Aiko, and many more.
A Sneak Peek into Missionary’s Standout Tracks
On Friday, Snoop Dogg took to Times Square in New York City to give fans a taste of what’s to come. In a surprise performance, he launched “Fortnite” Chapter 2 remix, featuring contributions from Snoop, Ice Spice, and even posthumous vocals from Juice WRLD. While chatting with fans and the press, Snoop hinted at two tracks from Missionary that he believes are perfect fits for Fortnite's vibe and audience. He mentioned "Last Dance With Mary Jane" featuring Jelly Roll and Tom Petty, as well as "Gunz n Smoke," a hard-hitting track featuring 50 Cent and Eminem. Snoop suggested that Gunz n Smoke, with its gritty, street-inspired sound, aligns well with the high-energy nature of the Fortnite universe.
Will “Last Dance With Mary Jane” Make the Cut?
Snoop did express some reservations about Last Dance With Mary Jane, due to its themes that might not align with Fortnite’s platform guidelines. “Well, Tom Petty is a weed song, so I don’t know if they’re going to let that one in,” he told Variety. However, he remains optimistic about Gunz n Smoke, which he described as a “real street record” that could fit naturally into Fortnite’s gameplay and visual environment, particularly in maps inspired by his personal tastes.
The Return of Snoop and Eminem’s Libra Partnership
Snoop also shared his enthusiasm for collaborating with his longtime friend and fellow rapper Eminem, who is also part of the new Fortnite campaign. “That’s Slim Shady, that’s my guy! That’s my Libra gang partner,” Snoop said, emphasizing the duo’s close bond and shared creative synergy. “Whenever we can work together, we do it because we’re family,” he added, showing excitement for any opportunity to collaborate with Eminem.
Beyond Music: Snoop’s “Planet of the Apes”-Inspired Film Project
Music isn't the only thing Snoop has in the works. He's diving into cinema with a unique film project inspired by the classic Planet of the Apes series, but with a Snoop twist. “I can’t really give up the storyline,” Snoop teased, but hinted that his film would swap apes for dogs in a similar world-building concept. Snoop’s take aims to satisfy fans who, like him, don’t want to wait years for a continuation of a story they love.
When to Expect Missionary
Snoop’s much-anticipated album Missionary is scheduled for release on December 13. The rapper recently unveiled the full tracklist, revealing collaborations with an eclectic mix of artists such as Method Man, Sting, BJ the Chicago Kid, and Smitty. The album’s latest single, “Gorgeous,” featuring Jhené Aiko, is already generating buzz, hinting that Missionary may be one of Snoop's most dynamic projects yet.
With the combination of fresh music, exciting collaborations, and unique creative ventures, Snoop Dogg continues to cement his legacy as one of hip-hop’s most innovative and influential figures. Fans worldwide are counting down to December 13, eager to experience the musical journey that Missionary promises to deliver.
