Snoop Dogg To Release New Gospel Album

From HipHop to Reggae, Snoop Dogg is taking another leap into the Gospel genre. Almost four years after the passing of his mother, Beverly Tate, Snoop announced his upcoming release of his second gospel album, “Altar Call”. The album, dedicated to Tate will arrive on what would have been his mother’s 74th birthday, and follows Snoop’s 2018 album “Bible of Love.”

Altar Call is described as “a heartfelt testimony, a moment of reflection, faith, and community [and] a reminder that no matter your path, there is always room for grace.”

Snoop spoke with Okayplayer, and shared his excitement about returning to Gospel.

“The spirit of my mother will forever live within me. This album is a reflection of what she has taught me to use my voice and my platform to spread love and heal the world. Just another chapter out of the ‘Bible of Love.’”

The 21 track album will feature Jamie Foxx’s cover of Bill Withers‘ classic “Grandma’s Hands.” Charlie Bereal, Jane Handcock, Jazze Pha, October London, Mali Music, Robert Glasper, and the Death Row Mass Choir will make their debut on the project. John P. Kee’s “Mother I Miss You,” will be the lead single and releases on Friday, April 18.
