Snoop Dogg is sharing the first taste of his next studio album — but not without a little help from some friends!

On Friday, Nov. 1, the Doggfather himself unleashed "Gorgeous," the first track off his forthcoming album Missionary, featuring vocals from Jhené Aiko and production from Dr. Dre.

The track arrives alongside a corresponding lyric video, as well as the official track list for the Dr. Dre-produced album — featuring quite a few familiar faces in Snoop's orbit.

Missionary marks Dr. Dre and Snoop's first full length body of work together since the rapper's 1993 debut LP Doggystyle, and the duo won't be alone on the project. Snoop, 53, will be joined by Tom Petty, Eminem, 50 Cent, Jelly Roll, K.A.A.N., Method Man, Smitty, Sting, Cocoa Sarai, Dem Jointz, Stalone, Fat Money, BJ the Chicago Kid, Alus and Aiko on the forthcoming project — which arrives on Dec. 13 via Death Row, Aftermath and Interscope.

While Snoop previously revealed during the Bloomberg Screentime conference earlier this month that he had songs with Sting and Jelly Roll on his new project, it's now been revealed that the Sting team-up will be called "Another Part of Me," while the Jelly Roll collab will also feature the late Tom Petty and be called "Last Dance with Mary Jane." (Petty and the Heartbreakers had a song called "Mary Jane's Last Dance.")

"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 of meeting Sting, 73. “I meet people I’ve always wanted to meet and they’re everything I wanted them to be.”

Additional tracks on the 15-song album include "Skyscrapers" with Method Man and Smitty, "Now or Never" with Dre and BJ the Chicago Kid and the now-released Aiko collab "Gorgeous."

Another big team-up on Missionary is track "Gunz N Smoke," which will feature performances from both Eminem and 50 Cent. The duo, alongside Dr. Dre, joined Snoop earlier this year at his Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony.

"Now take a look at us, over 30 years later and we still on the grind in the studio and you still make me do every line 100 motherf---ing times. Still," Snoop said of Dre, 59, at the event. "And I thank you for that, perfectionist. I thank you for being a perfectionist and always pushing me to be great. You always bring out the best of the Dogg, Dr. Dre and that I do appreciate."

"There would be Snoop without Dre. Together we created magic in the studio and our collaborations have left a mark on the world of music."

Missionary arrives on Dec 13 via Death Row, Aftermath and Interscope.
