Missionary

About

With all due respect to DJ Battlecat, The Neptune, and the other myriad producers who made key contributions to Snoop Dogg’s vast discography, nothing feels quite so right as when he links with Dr. Dre. From the moment the former N.W.A member’s ostensibly solo debut <i>The Chronic</i> entered the zeitgeist, artists have repeatedly tried—and generally failed—to achieve the level of chemistry and clout generated by their seminal pairing. While they’ve stayed in each other’s orbit over the year, trading beats and bars on albums like Snoop’s 2006 <i>Tha Blue Carpet Treatment</i> and Dre’s 2015 <i>Compton</i>, the auspicious release of <i>Missionary</i> marks their first full-length team-up in more than three decade. Its title a clear nod to the 1993 West Coast masterpiece <i>Doggystyle</i>, this long-hoped-for album changes positions without losing the feeling. .
