Background and promotion
On May 13, 2025, Snoop Dogg revealed the album when he interviewed Access Hollywood about the album as he stated: "Just some of the things that I do, that I’ve done, that have been speculation, and I just want to ask the question, "Is it a crime? Is it a crime for me to do the things that I do? 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?" He would officially announce the album on social media by posting the front and back cover. The following day, he interviewed The Breakfast Club about his inspiration to continue rapping as a long-time figure in hip-hop.
