AceShowbiz - Snoop Dogg is venturing back into his church roots with his upcoming gospel album, "Altar Call", set for release on April 27th under Death Row Records. This heartfelt project is dedicated to his late mother, Beverly Tate, who passed away in 2021.
"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," Snoop shared with Okayplayer.
The album will feature an impressive lineup of artists across its 21 tracks, including Jamie Foxx, Robert Glasper, Denaun Porter, Jazze Pha, Charlie Bereal, and October London. It will also include a special debut from the Death Row Mass Choir.
The album cover, poignantly featuring an image of Beverly Tate, underscores the deep personal connection Snoop has with this project. As he paid tribute to the late matriarch, "U taught me how to read and write how to struggle and fight and all the facts of life. Now you finally got ya wings, mama."
This isn't Snoop Dogg's first foray into gospel music. He previously released the highly acclaimed "Bible of Love" in 2018. Speaking about his unique musical journey, Snoop emphasized, "This is not a money-driven project, it's a spirit-driven project. I've referred to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on most of my recordings, letting people know that I am a born-again Christian."
Snoop is now preparing for the release of the lead single from "Altar Call", "Mother I Miss You" featuring John P. Kee, on April 18.
Knee said, "The amazing thing about this writing assignment was that I wanted to do something for the family during their time of bereavement. Look at God! He made a way for me to honor her by writing this song that definitely represents her love, reverence, honor, and care for her family!"
"Altar Call" is set to be a "heartfelt testimony, a moment of reflection, faith, and community," embodying a universal message of grace and redemption. With its impending release, young fans and music lovers alike can look forward to a moving, spiritually enriching experience from one of hip-hop's living legends.
