Snoop Dogg Announces New Gospel Album, Honoring His Late Mother.

Death Row Records will release a new 21-track gospel compilation, Altar Call, executive produced by and featuring Snoop Dogg. Speaking with OkayPlayer, Snoop revealed that the project is a follow-up to his 2018 gospel album Bible of Love and is dedicated to his mother Beverly Tate, who passed in 2021. The project is set to be released on her birthday, April 27.

Snoop said: “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.’”

Altar Call will feature a cast of gospel legends, relative newcomers, and Hollywood actor Jamie Foxx, who covers the Bill Withers’ classic “Grandma’s Hands”.

The album also includes contributions from Death Row Records artists Charlie Bereal, Jane Handcock, and October London, as well as the likes of Robert Glasper and Jazze Pha.

Pastor John P. Kee said, “I’ve known Snoop for a while. One of the things I’ve admired about him over the years has been his love for his mother. He has always honored her in such a way that inspired those that knew him personally to do the same! 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! Mother Beverly, we will never forget you, Uncle John P Kee.”

The first single, “Mother I Miss You” is performed by gospel singer and pastor John P. Kee and drops this Friday.
