“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,” Snoop said. “I meet people I’ve always wanted to meet and they’re everything I wanted them to be.”

Appearing onMissionarywill mark the latest foray back into hip-hop for Jelly, 39, as the country crooner started his career as arapperin 2003. He was recently featured onEminem’s “Somebody Save Me,” which samples Jelly’s own hit “Save Me.”

“In my mind, I made it up that I’m going to go back to being Snoop Doggy Dogg,” the rapper reflected about reconnecting with Dre at the Bloomberg conference. “I want to be the student, the kid, the passenger. I want to humble myself and go in the studio with him and allow him to, you know, work on me and tell me what I need to do and produce me. Not me try to fight him and think that, ‘Oh, I’m a star!'”

“1993 was the last time he produced a whole Snoop Dogg album. So this is a reunion, and it’s [a] collaboration between two friends who genuinely love each other,” the Long Beach emcee said.
