Snoop Dogg and DJ Green Lantern have marked 30 years of Tha Doggfather with a new mix, "Doggfather 30: The Long Game by DJ Green Lantern & DJ Snoopadelic (DJ Mix)," released on Friday, November 13, 2026. The Apple Music listing credits the project to DJ Green Lantern and Snoop Dogg and lists 22 songs running 55 minutes — a full-length reimagining of a landmark album rather than a quick anniversary nod.
The mix celebrates Tha Doggfather, the 1996 album Snoop released as the follow-up to his debut, Doggystyle. Green Lantern told Apple Music he wanted to celebrate the album but add new life to it, using remixes, samples and references that fit the themes of the songs and the overall vibe. The approach keeps the original album at the center while letting Green Lantern reframe it for 2026. The mix also includes some exclusives, giving even longtime listeners something they have not heard before.
Across its 55 minutes, the set blends the album's songs with records from Parliament and Run-D.M.C., and drops period interviews and commentary from DJ Snoopadelic — a Snoop alias — between tracks. The result plays like a guided tour of the album's world, connecting the music to the voices and sounds that shaped it.
The two have worked this way before. Their earlier DJ mixes include Live From The Mothership, released in 2018, and Live From the Mothership II: Emergency Landing, which followed in 2025. Doggfather 30 continues that run, pairing Green Lantern's turntable craft with Snoop's ear for his own catalog.
The anniversary also brings vinyl. Two limited pressings of Tha Doggfather — a gold and black splatter 2LP and a picture disc — debut at Record Planet's Mega Record & CD Fair in the Netherlands on November 14 and 15, 2026, before a holiday release through Snoopermarket and select retailers.
The timing is fitting: the anniversary lands with Snoop as the owner of Death Row Records, the label that first released Tha Doggfather. Thirty years on, the album's legacy is now in the hands of the artist who made it — and Doggfather 30 is his way of marking the moment. For fans, it is both a look back and a reminder of how durable the record remains.
