The album will feature a soulful cover of Bill Withers’ “Grandma’s Hands,” performed by Jamie Foxx, and includes appearances from an eclectic mix of collaborators such as Charlie Bereal, Jane Handcock, Jazze Pha, October London, Mali Music, Robert Glasper and the Death Row Mass Choir.
Described by Death Row Records as “a heartfelt testimony, a moment of reflection, faith, and community,” the album centers on themes of grace, healing, and spiritual connection. Its lead single, “Mother I Miss You” by gospel legend John P. Kee, is scheduled for release on Friday, April 18.
Snoop’s first foray into gospel music, Bible of Love, was dedicated to his grandmother, Dorothy Tate. With Altar Call, he builds on that foundation, seamlessly weaving his Hip-Hop background with messages rooted in faith, family and remembrance.
