Snoop Dogg confirmed that Missionary was in the works last year during an appearance on
Stephen A. Smith
's podcast, Know Mercy. “I’ma tell you this, you’re the first one to hear this: me and
Dr. Dre
have been working on an album for the past two months,” he revealed. He went on to claim “it’ll be done in November.” Snoop continued, explaining, “It’s produced by Dr. Dre, it’s our 30th anniversary to
Doggystyle
. And the name of the album is Missionary.” When asked to share why they chose the name, Snoop simply told the host, “The first album was Doggystyle.”

During an interview with From The Desk Of Lo published on August 27, 2023, the rapper The DOC revealed that the album sounds like the perfect balance between the old and new Death Row: "It sounds like what Snoop’s next record would’ve been like on Death Row, that’s what it sounds like."

In 2024, Snoop gives some update about the "masterful" new album: "When you hear what we have and how he got me rapping, it’s like a grown Snoop Dogg. There’s some growth to him. It’s the way he selects his bars, it’s the way he uses his voice. [Dr. Dre] uses me like a fucking robot and I love it because I love to be produced. I love to be challenged." He also praised Dre for using his voice “like an instrument.”
