Dr. Dre (real name Andre Romelle Young) has announced he will be releasing his last ever album, Compton A Soundtrack, on Friday 7th August. It will be his first album since his 1999 release 2001 and only his third ever LP.
The album will coincide with the release of the N.W.A. movie ‘Straight Outta Comptom’ which has inspired Dre to write the music. ‘During principal photography of I felt myself going to the studio and being so inspired by the movie that I started recording an album,’ Dre said on The Pharmacy. ‘I kept it under wraps, and now the album is finished. It’s bananas. It’s an ‘inspired by’ album. It’s inspired by Straight Outta Compton, we’re gonna call the album Compton: The Soundtrack. I’m really proud of this.’ He went on to state the album would be his ‘grand finale’.
The 50 year old hip hop star-turned-business-mogul recently sold his headphone and music streaming company Beats Electronics to Apple for $3 billion. Founder of Aftermath Entertainment and co-owner of Death Row Records, Dre has also produced notable artists such as Snoop Dogg, Eminem, The Game, 50 Cent, Xzibit and Kendrick Lamar.
