The production comes from Battle Cat, Jelly Roll, Soopafly, LT Hutton and others. The line-up of producers is able to create mellow, smooth and funky West Coast rhythms. Unfortunately, not all the tracks are dazzling. Some mishaps include “Shake that Shit” which seems like an imitation of various club bangers that have already been released. Overall, the production cannot match the old Dre tracks. Sure, no one was expecting something of such excellent caliber, but with a DPGC reunion, you kind of wish Dre was manning the boards. Instead, it seems like they simply settled for the beats they got.

This album has some bright spots. Sadly, one has to comb through a lot of filler in order to get to those ill moments. Welcome to the Chuuch doesn’t do Snoop or the Dogg Pound justice. It doesn’t have enough firepower and it doesn’t have enough great tracks to fully enjoy. While a more conscious Snoop is commendable, and the DPGC reunion is well-received, the rest of the group really needs to step it up.
