Finally! Dr. Dre Dropping a New Album, First in 15 Years

In music when an artist does not put out an album in over 15 years it usually because no one wants to hear it. That is the exact opposite to Dr. Dre’ situation as people have been begging for a new album for years. We always thought we were going to get the album in the form of Detox, and that project became the lock ness monster of hip hop only to be whispered about and never see the light of day.

On his Beats 1 radio show ‘The Pharmacy’ he revealed that Detox was no more. He did not feel he did a good enough job and did not want to disappoint fans, which is not shocking to those that have worked with Dre detailing how much of a perfectionist he is. However, there is new music from the good doctor in the form of Compton: A Soundtrack which is inspired by the new N.W.A. biopic movie Straight Outta Compton.

This release is already set for August 7th and exclusive to iTunes. The tracklist was revealed as well and it is a hell of a line up and one you would expect for this LP.
