Dr Dre has finally released eagerly anticipated new album, Compton. Listen to it now via Apple Music.
Inspired by new NWA biopic Straight Outta Compton, it's Dre's first full length release in 16 years since the colossal 2001, released in 1999. It's billed by Dre as his "grande finale".
It comes after Dre abandoned Detox, the album he'd been working on for over a decade. Explaining the decision, Dre said, "I didn't like it. 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."
Compton, naturally, boasts an awe-inspiring number of guests, including Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, Eminem, Ice Cube and Xzibit.
Listen to Compton via Apple Music now.
Dr Dre recently spoke about how royalties from the record will be donated to charity. He said: "I feel it's the right thing to do and I hope everybody appreciates the work I put into this album. We've reached out to Aja Brown [Compton Mayor] quite a few times in the last month or two.
"I've been really trying to do something special for Compton and just couldn't quite figure out what it was. She actually had this idea and she was already in the process of working on it. I said, 'Boom, this is what we should do.'"
