Hip-hop mogul to release new album August 1, says Ice Cube

Rapper Ice Cube has disclosed that Dr Dre’s plans to release a new album on August 1.

In an interview with Philadelphia’s Power 99 radio station, Ice Cube spoke at length about Dre’s upcoming NWA biopic film Straight Outta Compton and made it clear that the new music from Dr. Dre was inspired by the film about his former hip hop group.

"Actually Dre is dropping an album inspired by Compton," Ice Cube told the audience. "He’s dropping something on August 1st. It’s mega. It’s Dr Dre. It’s what everyone’s been waiting for. It’s definitely a dope record. And he’s dropping it all on the same day. It’s crazy."

Fans are also eager for confirmation of an NWA reunion tour to support the film’s release, following rumours they would reform for live promotional dates with Eminem as an honorary member

Despite representatives for both Dr. Dre and Eminem denying plans for any tour dates, Ice Cube commented on the possibility of a new tour, adding, "it’s definitely, definitely possible."

Dre's former hip-hop group NWA formed in 1986 and disbanded in 1991. Its members included Dre, Ice Cube, MC Ren, DJ Yella and Eazy-E. Eazy-E passed away in 1995.

Dr. Dre has gone on to establish himself as a prolific hip hop producer and entrepreneur, working with Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar and more. Despite multiple Grammy Awards and numerous guest spots and production credits, he has only released two studio albums under his own name, 'The Chronic' (1992) and '2001' (1999).
