Snoop Dogg To Release New Gospel Album In Honor Of His Late Mother

For his latest release on Death Row Records, Snoop Dogg will be unveiling a new gospel album titled Altar Call as a tribute to his later mother, Beverly Tate.

The LP is a sequel to his 2018 album, Bible Of Love, and is set to be released on her birthday, April 27. 

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.”

Speaking with Okayplayer, Snoop 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.’”

Spanning 21 tracks, the album features Jamie Foxx’s cover of Bill Withers‘ classic “Grandma’s Hands.” Also,  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 drops on Friday (April 18).

Kee also shared his excitement about the LP.

“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,” Kee 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! Mother Beverly, we will never forget you, Uncle John P Kee,” he continued.
