Snoop Dogg Announces New Album ‘Iz It a Crime?' Featuring Wiz Khalifa, Sexyy Red & Pharrell
Just five months after delivering his Missionary album with Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg has announced plans for his Iz It a Crime? album, which will arrive on Thursday (May 15). The project boasts 21 tracks in total, with features sprinkled across the effort from Pharrell Williams, Sexyy Red, Wiz Khalifa, Charlie Bereal, Jane Handcock, October London and more. The title track also fittingly heavily samples Sade's 'Is It a Crime.'

Is it a crime for me to do the things that I do,' Snoop told Access Hollywood of the project on Tuesday (May 13). 'Is it a crime for me to take care of people, to love people, to be there for people? Is it a crime for me to be me?' With Snoop back at the helm of Death Row Records, he stopped by The Breakfast Club Wednesday (May 14) to open up about feeling inspired to continue rapping even as an elder statesman in hip-hop. 'I'm an MC and I love to rap and I love to make music, and people love my voice and they love when I make great records,' he said. 'When I don't make great records, people let me know that as well.' Snoop continued: 'I hear all of that and it makes me say to myself, 'I should treat myself like a musician and not like a rapper.' If you a musician, you can make music until you die, but when you're a rapper they try to put a cap on you.' An accompanying Iz It a Crime? short film is also set to serve as a visual companion to the music project. The flick was previewed during a private screening in NYC on Tuesday night. Iz It a Crime? is set to be Snoop Dogg's 21st studio album. He's been busy in 2025, as Snoop contributed to Death Row's Altar Call compilation gospel album in April, which is a tribute to the Long Beach legend's late mother.
