Snoop Dogg is gearing up to release his next album Missionaryon December 13. The rapper recruited Jhené Aiko for “Gorgeous,” the first single from the Dr. Dre-produced LP, which features additional production from Blu2th, Preach Bal4, and FredWreck.
The upbeat track sees Snoop and Aiko trading vocals. On the chorus, she sings, “Under the sky, stars in your eyes / This is exhilarating / We can be anything, this is everything / We do the wildest things till six o’clock in the morning.”
Snoop announced the record with a movie-style trailer in which a woman is greeted at her door by two Mormon missionaries and realizes in an instant that she has misunderstood their mission. Opening the door in her full underwear, she tells them: “Your ad says you’re committed to missionary work.”
Missionary It boasts a stacked list of collaborators including Tom Petty and Jelly Roll on “Last Dance With Mary Jane,” 50 Cent and Eminem on “Gunz N Smoke,” Method Man and Smitty on “Skyscrapers,” Dr. Dre and BJ the Chicago Kid on “Now or Never,” Dame Joyntz, Stallone and Fat Money on “Gangsta Pose,” and more. Sting, KAAN, Alus, and Cocoa Sarai also appear on the record.
The album also marks Snoop’s first full collaboration with Dr. Dre since the rapper’s debut album Anal intercourse.
