Written by djfrosty on November 21, 2024
Allow Snoop Dogg to be the soundtrack to your Black Friday shopping spree. The West Coast icon is set to close out season three of Amazon’s Amazon Music Live series with a career-spanning performance on Black Friday (Nov. 29).
Following the conclusion of the Kansas City Chiefs and Las Vegas Raiders Black Friday Football game on Amazon Prime Video, Snoop will take the stage at 7 p.m. ET.
As a lover of both the NFL and hip-hop, it’s only fitting Snoop is closing out season three. The Doggfather’s performance will be live-streamed on Prime Video as well as Twitch.
The Death Row legend is slated to run through classics from his decorated catalog and give fans a taste of his upcoming joint album with Dr. Dre titled Missionary. Snoop follows in the footsteps of previous AML performers such as Big Sean and Jelly Roll this season. Girl group TWICE is set to perform on Thursday (Nov. 21), and will be the first K-pop group to take the Amazon Music Live stage.

Before Missionary hits streaming services on Dec. 13, Snoop and Dre gave fans a sneak peek of the LP during a live episode of Drink Champs at ComplexCon in Las Vegas over the weekend.
The early returns saw the project draw rave reviews, as LeBron James, Jamie Foxx, Travis Kelce, Tony Yayo, Russ and more celebrities gave Snoop Dogg his flowers in his IG comment section.
Missionary marks the reuniting of Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg on a full-length project for the first time since Snoop’s 1993 Doggystyle debut album. The hitmakers have kept details of the LP on the low, but some special guests expected to appear on the album include Sting and Jelly Roll.
Jelly Roll raved about landing the collaboration in an October interview with Bootleg Kev, during which he confirmed his cameo.
“I won’t say anything about the record because he didn’t, but man, it’s special. It is really good,” he said. “I’m legitimately on the Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre album. It’s crazy. It’s unreal. Dude, Jimmy [Iovine] hits John [presumably Jelly Roll’s manager John Meneilly] and says, ‘Can we get on a FaceTime with Jelly Roll and Dre?’ I’m like, ‘Dr. Dre?’ I get on a FaceTime from my back porch. I’m like a kid. Jimmy’s there and I’m already like, ‘I cannot believe it’s Jimmy Iovine.’”
