DEDICATED TO SNOOP DOGG’S LATE MOTHER
FIRST SINGLE “MOTHER I MISS YOU” BY JOHN P. KEE DROPS FRIDAY
Death Row Records proudly announces its upcoming release, Altar Call, a deeply personal and soul-stirring gospel compilation album, arriving on April 27. News of the project was officially unveiled today via OkayPlayer.
Executive produced by Snoop Dogg, Altar Call serves as a spiritual continuation of his gospel journey that began with his chart-topping 2018 album Bible of Love, which hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Gospel Albums and earned a BET Award nomination. This new body of work carries even greater emotional weight as it’s dedicated to Snoop’s late mother and set to be released on her birthday.
Snoop Dogg shared with OkayPlayer, “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.’”
The 21-track project seamlessly weaves together traditional gospel with modern soul, R&B, and hip-hop influences, resulting in a powerful and contemporary soundscape that honors the genre’s roots while pushing it forward. Altar Call features a compelling mix of gospel legends and fresh voices, including the heartfelt lead single “Mother I Miss You” by the iconic John P. Kee, releasing this Friday, and Jamie Foxx’s soul-stirring rendition of “Grandma’s Hands,” a moving tribute to the Bill Withers classic. Other highlights include the reflective “Grace and Mercy” by Charlie Bereal and the uplifting “Just Believe” by JANE HANDCOCK, each offering their own message of faith, resilience, and spiritual awakening.
Reflecting on his relationship with Snoop Dogg and the impact of Beverly Tate, John P. Kee shared: “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! 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”
Altar Call is more than an album. It’s a heartfelt testimony. A moment of reflection, faith, and community. A reminder that no matter your path, there is always room for grace.
