Dr Dre To Release His First Album In Sixteen Years This Week

Iconic rapper-producer extraordinaire, Doctor Dre on his Beats 1 radio show, ‘The Pharmacy’ has revealed that is first album in sixteen years would be released this Friday, August 7, and
the album, ‘Compton, A Soundtrack by Dr Dre’, would be his ‘grand finale’.

And Dre said his new album, his first since 1999’s critically acclaimed ‘2001’, was inspired by the upcoming biopic ‘Straight Outta Compton’, which chronicles the struggles of the N.W.A, the group Dre co-founded and which was one of pioneers of the art form that is hip hop.

“I felt myself being so inspired by the movie that I started to record an album,” Dr Dre said during his
radio show. “It’s going to be my grand finale. The record is bananas.”

And the man who brought us Eminem and 50 Cent announced that the former, his greatest creation after Beats, would appear on the album. Other iconic acts to make appearances include Kendrick Lamar, Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg and Xzibit.
