Snoop Dogg shared in a new interview that he and longtime friend/collaborator Dr. Dre are prepping a new project that could see release before the end of the year. In a conversation with sportscaster Stephen A. Smith, the West Coast rap icon revealed that he and the Doctor have something coming.

“You’re the first one to hear this," Snoop said on the podcast K[no]w Mercy. "Me and Dr. Dre have been working on an album for the past two months.

“And it will be done in November, and it’s produced by Dr. Dre. It’s our 30th anniversary to [Snoop's debut album] Doggystyle. And the name of the album is Missionary.”

Snoop also talked about him taking ownership of Death Row Records.

“I was looking to get my masters back from Doggystyle — that was what I was searching for. And during the process, they were — the people that had it — were charging more for the masters than for Death Row. So I had to ask myself, ‘Do I want the masters now, or do I want to go back and get that legacy?’”

Snoop decided he wanted the whole thing.

“Death Row Records should be the most prolific, dominant, business-minded companies to come out of the West Coast, that comes and stays with you for a lifetime,” he said.
