The lengthy record, which clocks in at one hour and six minutes, also comes with a music video that features each artist who hopped on the record.

"Equivalent to none, relevant to all/Kay Slay we pray 'cause heaven sent the Dogg," Snoop raps. "Reppin' with my particulars, wretched with my vernaculars/Spar with eight bars, there's nothing that isn't spectacular."
