Dr. Dre To Release New Album This Week
Well the cat is out the hat. As you may know by now Dr. Dre hip hop’s most influential and prominent producer is coming out with a new album after nearly 16 years. The rap mogul announced yesterday that he’s releasing a new album on Friday, August 7th. It’s called Compton: A Soundtrack by Dr. Dre, and it’s Dre’s first proper album since 1999’s 2001.
“I was leaving the set, going to the studio, and I felt myself just being so inspired by the movie that I started recording an album,” Dre said on Saturday during his weekly Beats 1 radio show, “The Pharmacy.” “I kept it under wraps, and now the album is finished. It’s an ‘inspired-by’ album, it’s inspired by Straight Outta Compton,” the new N.W.A. biopic coming out this month. The album will be exclusive to iTunes and Apple Music.
