Earlier this week, Snoop spoke with PEOPLE about how he’s celebrating his “birthday month” and why he looks good at 52. “You have to treat yourself, don’t fool yourself,” he said.

“Like a fine wine, I age better with time. But really, we only have a short time here, so I’m making the most of life and trying to be the best version of myself every day, surrounding myself with good people, positive energy and love,” Snoop added.

The rapper also opened up about his High School Reunion US tour with Wiz Khalifa, Too $hort, Warren G and Berner, detailing how it feels to “be on the road with my friends who have accomplished so much in this industry.”

“We got to see people of all ages and backgrounds come through, from grandmothers to babies,” he said. “I think it’s a testament not only to the work I’ve put in, but also the love I’ve shown the world. I’ve been able to evolve from generation to generation by being true to who I am.”
