To coincide with the release of the N.W.A. biopic Straight Outta Compton, Dr. Dre is releasing a companion album called Compton: A Soundtrack this Friday on August 7. As Fader reports, fans will be able to hear the album early when it streams on Apple Music the day before its release from 6–9 p.m. PST.
The new album features a host of guest contributors, including Kendrick Lamar, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Ice Cube, and Jill Scott, among others.
Fader also reports that Dr. Dre made but ultimately scrapped material for his long-awaited third album Detox. According to Dre, “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.”
Check out the upcoming album’s full track list below, along with the artwork.
