Dr. Dre announced Saturday that he will be releasing his first album since 1999's "2001." "Compton: A Soundtrack" will be released on iTunes and Apple Music on Friday.
The rapper revealed on
the Beats 1 radio show that the new project was inspired by the upcoming film
"Straight Outta Compton," a biopic that documents the rise of his
group N.W.A.
"I was leaving the
set, coming to the studio, and I felt myself just being so inspired by the
movie that I started recording an album," he said. "And I kept it
under wraps. And the album is finished."
"Straight
Outta Compton" will be in theaters August 14.
The new album will include collaborations with artists
including Kendrick Lamar, Jill Scott, Eminem, Snoop Dogg and Ice Cube.
