Background and promotion
Snoop Dogg introduced the album during an interview on Access Hollywood dated May 13, 2025. He characterized the project as a response to public perceptions about his behavior and identity: "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... Is it a crime for me to be me?" Shortly after, he revealed the album's cover art and official announcement via social media platforms. The following day, he elaborated on his reasons for persisting in music during an appearance on The Breakfast Club.
The album title Iz It a Crime? addresses the criticism Snoop encountered after performing at Donald Trump's second inauguration. A short film linked to the album premiered exclusively in New York City on May 13 and was subsequently uploaded to his YouTube channel on May 14.
Among the tracks, "ShutYoBitchAssUp" is recognized as a diss aimed at former Death Row Records CEO and co-founder Suge Knight.
