Iz It a Crime? is the twenty-first studio album by American rapper Snoop Dogg, released by Death Row Records and Gamma on May 15, 2025. Guest features include October London, LaRussell, Jane Handcock, Charlie Bereal, Stresmatic, Wiz Khalifa, J-Black, Akeem Ali, Pharrell Williams, Tonio Armani, Mr. Porter, Blaqthoven, and Sexyy Red. The album is a follow-up to his previous album, Missionary, which was released almost 5 months prior in December 2024.

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?"[5] He would officially announce the album on social media by posting the front and back cover.[6] The following day, he interviewed The Breakfast Club about his inspiration to continue rapping as a long-time figure in hip-hop.[5]

The background behind the title Iz It a Crime? connects to recent public scrutiny of his performance at an inaugural celebration of Donald Trump's second term.[7] An accompanying short film was released as a visual representation of the album. It was previewed at a private screening in New York City on May 13, before officially releasing on his YouTube channel the following day.[5][8]

The track "ShutYoBitchAssUp" serves as a diss track targeted to former Death Row CEO and co-founder Suge Knight.[9]
