After dropping a star-studded tracklist for his upcoming album “Missionary”, Snoop Dogg gave fans a taste of what’s to come, hinting at some exciting collaborations and a special Fortnite tie-in.
Snoop Dogg is in full promotion mode for his upcoming album “Missionary”, and fans got a double surprise recently as he delivered an impromptu performance in New York’s Times Square for the launch of Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix, which includes tracks from artists like Ice Spice, Juice WRLD, and Eminem.
During a post-performance interview with Variety, Snoop shared insight into two standout tracks: “Last Dance With Mary Jane” featuring Jelly Roll and Tom Petty, and “Gunz n Smoke” featuring 50 Cent and Eminem. While he acknowledged that “Last Dance With Mary Jane” might not fit the Fortnite scene due to its weed-themed lyrics, he hinted that “Gunz n Smoke”, with its gritty feel, could be a perfect match for the game. He explained:
That’s a real street record and it fits perfectly with the things I’m doing in this game.
On the Fortnite project, Snoop expressed his excitement about collaborating with Eminem, who was also featured in the campaign. “That’s Slim Shady, that’s my guy! My Libra gang partner”, he said with a laugh. Their long-standing friendship has seen them team up several times, and both artists relish the chance to work together.
“Missionary”, due for release on December 13, promises an array of collaborations beyond the Fortnite hype. The tracklist includes legends like Method Man and Sting, plus features from Jhené Aiko, BJ the Chicago Kid, and more. Of course, we are excited for “Gunz n Smoke” with Eminem and Fifty the most. And the new Fortnite chapter for Eminem is also exciting. His foray into this new virtual realm has proved to be a success.
Almost a year ago, Eminem’s Fortnite concert became the most streamed event in gaming history. Also, Em’s “Fortnite Radio” vinyl from the Fortnite merch capsule became the third-highest debut of the week on the Billboard vinyl-only chart.
We’ll see what this new adventure brings to fans.

Before he was racing laps or co-owning RFK Racing, Brad Keselowski had a front-row seat to the buzz of having Eminem as his neighbour in Rochester Hills, Michigan.
What happens when one of the world’s biggest rap stars moves into your neighbourhood? According to Brad Keselowski, things get pretty exciting — and a little chaotic.
In a recent stroll down memory lane, the NASCAR star shared what it was like growing up in Rochester Hills, Michigan, where Eminem owned a sprawling 17,000-square-foot mansion during his early 2000s rise to superstardom.
Keselowski explained, pointing out the direction of the house:
Eminem used to live right there. After he became popular, that’s where he used to live. Every once in a while, he’d do something to get into trouble. There’d be helicopters flying around.
The mansion, nicknamed the “Kmart Mansion” for its former owner, Kmart chairman Chuck Conaway, was a luxurious hideout for the Detroit rapper. With six bedrooms, an impressive number of bathrooms, tennis courts, and swimming pools, it was the perfect retreat — but not Eminem’s main residence. He eventually sold it in 2017 for $2 million, far less than the $4.75 million he paid, preferring his Clinton Township home instead.
For Keselowski, having a neighbour like Eminem was unforgettable. The buzz around the rap legend often brought a flurry of excitement, and the memories still leave the NASCAR driver a little starstruck. After all, not everyone can say they grew up a stone’s throw away from Slim Shady himself.
