Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre have shared a new song in the trailer for Back in Action, the upcoming movie from fellow dynamic duo Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz.
Released on Thursday (November 14), the minute-and-a-half clip contains a snippet of an untitled track from the West Coast rap legends, who are set to release a collaborative album called Missionary next month.
It’s unclear if the song is taken from Missionary or a potential soundtrack to Back in Action.
The movie itself stars Foxx and Diaz as former CIA spies who “find themselves dragged back into the world of espionage when their cover is blown,” according to a synopsis.
The film, which premieres on Netflix on January 17, marks Cameron Diaz’s first movie role in a decade. It was also the project that Jamie Foxx was shooting when he was hospitalized for an unspecified medical complication last April.
The pair have previously appeared together in Any Given Sunday and Annie.
The Back in Action trailer arrives shortly after Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre released the lead single from Missionary, the Jhené Aiko-assisted “Gorgeous.”
The Grammy-nominated singer is far from the only big-name guest on the album, with feaures also coming from fellow Hip Hop heavyweights Eminem, 50 Cent and Method Man, as well as the likes of Jelly Roll, Sting and Tom Petty.
Missionary is set to drop on December 13 via Death Row, Aftermath and Interscope and serves as the (cheekily titled) successor to Snoop’s 1993 debut Doggystyle, which was also produced by Dr. Dre.
During an interview with Entertainment Tonight earlier this year, the Aftermath founder fueled excitement for the album by ranking it among the best work of his illustrious career.
“This one’s gonna show a different level of maturity with [Snoop’s] lyrics and with my music. I feel like this is some of the best music I’ve done in my career. I’m not playing,” he declared.
“The musicians I’m working with right now and some of the writers in the studio that are helping us… Snoop is really excited about this and so am I. I think people are gonna really enjoy this.”
