Dr. Dre announces new album ‘Compton’, featuring Ice Cube, Kendrick, Eminem, Snoop and others


Dr. Dre just dropped a bombshell, revealing today that his new album, Compton, will be out August 7 on Aftermath/Interscope as a companion piece to upcoming N.W.A. biopic Straight Outta Compton.

The record, which you can pre-order now via iTunes, features 16 tracks and guests like fellow N.W.A. member Ice Cube as well as Kendrick Lamar, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Xzibit, and others.

It’s been 16 years since Dre’s last record, 1999’s 2001, and the past several years have been rampant with rumors that his long-awaited follow-up, titled Detox, would finally see the light of day. While revealing details on Compton, Dre today said on his Beats 1 show for Apple Music that Detox was never up to snuff.

“I didn’t like it,” Dre said, via Pitchfork. “It wasn’t good. The record, it just wasn’t good. … I worked my ass off on it, and I don’t think I did a good enough job.”

Check out the Compton track list, its album artwork, and the trailer for Straight Outta Compton, which hits theaters August 14.
