In an interview about the NWA biopic, Ice Cube confirmed that Dr Dre is dropping a surprise album in August as a companion piece to the film.
Speaking to DJ Mikey Dredd, Ice Cube reported that the first new material off of the new album will drop on the 1st of the month, AllHipHop reports.
“He’s dropping something on August 1st…It’s mega". Ice Cube reported. "It’s Dr. Dre, it’s what everybody’s been waiting for. It’s definitely a dope record, and he’s dropping it all on the same day.”
While our dreams of Detox coming out fizzled out years ago, this is might not just be a film soundtrack, it could be new Dre record altogether inspired by the NWA biopic, Straight Outta Compton.
