Snoop Dogg may not be significantly distanced from his collaborative album, Missionary, with Dr. Dre; nevertheless, he is poised to release new material once again.
According to Billboard, the prominent California rap mogul and entertainer has proclaimed the impending release of a new solo album, which is anticipated to transcend the conventional boundaries of hip-hop.
This forthcoming project is set to incorporate elements of gospel music and will be entitled Altar Call. However, given the December release of Missionary, one might surmise that this new album will not debut for an extended period. This assumption is erroneous, as the album is scheduled to be available in just over two weeks, precisely on April 27.
“April 27, I’m dropping a gospel album on Death Row Records. It’s called Altar Call. You heard it first. A gospel album, April 27. God is good. Won’t he do it?”.
Jamie Foxx, Robert Glasper, Denaun Porter, Jazze Pha, Charlie Bereal, Jane Handcock, October London, are just several of the features.
This release holds particular significance for Snoop Dogg, as he has chosen to dedicate it to the memory of his late mother, Beverly Tate. Tragically, she passed away on October 24, 2021. Mrs. Tate was 70 years of age and had been hospitalized for a duration of three months leading up to that date. The circumstances surrounding her demise remain undisclosed even after several years.
Notably, Snoop Dogg had a performance scheduled in Boston on the same day of her passing; nevertheless, he proceeded with the performance and conveyed his rationale to the audience through a heartfelt message.
“I wasn’t even gonna come out here and perform tonight ’cause my mother passed away earlier tonight, but in the spirit of the people of Boston, I wanted to come out here and represent for y’all because this is what my mama would have wanted me to do. Afterwards, Snoop Dogg thanked the crowd for their overwhelming support and energy. “I needed this. I f*cking love y’all for getting my spirit right tonight. Peace, love and soul.”
