Dr. Dre is set to release his first album in 16 years.
The 50-year-old musician has recorded a brand new album as the soundtrack to Straight Outta Compton a biographical drama based on the story of hip hop group N.W.A., which featured Dre as well as DJ Yella, Easy-E, Ice Cube, MC Ren and Arabian Prince throughout the years.
Ice Cube let slip the news during an interview with Philadelphias Power 99 teasing the LP would be released on Saturday (01.08.15), although sources have since suggested it wont be available until a later date and Dre will instead confirm the record on his Beats 1 radio show The Pharmacy on Saturday.
Speaking about the album, Ice Cube said: Its mega. Its Dr. Dre, its what everybodys been waiting for.
Its definitely a dope record, and hes dropping it all on the same day.
The album will be his first studio record since 1999s 2001 and although he was believed to be working on a new collection called Detox from 2001 to 2008, it was later scrapped after several songs were leaked.
Earlier this year, Dre hinted his new music could play a key part in Straight Outta Compton which he has produced alongside Ice Cube when he revealed he was working on something for the film.
He said: Im working on something right now. I dont want to put it out there just yet and say that Im definitely gonna put it out. But Im really feeling what Im working on right now.
This would be a record thats inspired by the movie.
