Dr. Dre drops new album Compton

Dr. Dre's new album Compton is out today via Apple Music. Inspired by his work on ‘Straight Outta Compton’, the upcoming N.W.A. biopic, the album features Kendrick Lamar, Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, Eminem, and more.

This is the last studio album from Dr. Dre - his grand finale. This album is NOT a soundtrack for the Universal Picture film about NWA- “Straight Outta Compton”. As a producer of the film, Dr. Dre was very involved in it’s development and creation and was so inspired by what was going on, that he decided to go into the studio and make new music from this inspiration.

The result is Compton: the final Dr. Dre studio album and companion to the film.

The audio got premiered last night on Apple Music. Immediately following the Apple Music streaming of the album, Zane Lowe was hosting a “Compton” special on Beats 1, including a sit down interview with Dr. Dre.
