As previously speculated, a Straight Outta Compton-inspired Dr. Dre is releasing his first studio album in 16 years, with the new record, Compton, coming out tomorrow in advance of the movie’s release. The album features appearances by Dre’s N.W.A. colleague (and co-producer on the biopic) Ice Cube, as well as Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, and several others.
The album is currently available for pre-order, but Apple Music subscribers can check it out right now; the Chronic mastermind will be streaming it on the service for the next hour or so, before conducting an interview about the album with Beats 1 DJ Zane Lowe at 11 p.m. Central. Dre called in to the DJ earlier today, explaining that royalties from the album will go toward constructing a performing arts center for the city of Compton, itself.
