Snoop Dogg's new album Missionary will feature Sting and Jelly Roll
Snoop Dogg will collaborate with Sting and Jelly Roll on his new album 'Missionary'.
The 52-year-old rapper is set to release his latest record next month and has confirmed that the former Police frontman and the country star will be contributing to the material.
Snoop told the Bloomberg Screentime conference: "I got a feature from Jelly Roll and Sting. I'm so happy that me and Sting have a record that's so good."
The 'Gin and Juice' hitmaker explained that he has long been "infatuated" with Sting and wasn't disappointed after getting the chance to spend some time with the 'Englishman in New York' artist.
Snoop recalled: "We hung out and we chilled. Like a child that's infatuated with somebody as a singer, and you get a chance to meet them and they give you everything you expected.
"That's what happens with me all the time: I meet people I've always wanted to meet and they're everything I wanted them to be."
The star has been teasing 'Missionary' for a couple of years and is delighted that Dr. Dre is producing the album after the pair worked together on Snoop's debut record 'Doggystyle'.
He said: "1993 was the last time he produced a whole Snoop Dogg album. So this a reunion, and it's collaboration between two friends who genuinely love each other. We know we're better together."
Dre teased earlier this year that there would be an "amazing roster of artists" featured on the record and promised that the music would "show a different level of maturity" compared to their previous collaboration.
The 'Let Me Ride' rapper said: "We were kids at that time, you know what I mean? Snoop may have been 18 or 19 years old and I'm, I think, six years older than him.
"So we were kids at that time, and this one is gonna show a different level of maturity with his lyrics and with my music."
