Dr. Dre hasn’t released a project in six years, but this may soon change as the rap icon is working on new music for the Grand Theft Auto video game franchise, according to Snoop Dogg.
Speaking with the Rolling Stone Music Now podcast, Dre’s longtime collaborator revealed that Dre is back in the lab creating “great fu**ing music.”
“I do know he’s in the studio,” said Snoop, who has also been involved in the GTA recording sessions. “I do know he’s making great fu**ing music. And some of his music is connected to the GTA game that’s coming out. So I think that that will be the way that his music will be released, through the GTA video game.”
2015’s Compton was Dre’s last project. It was inspired by the N.W.A biopic Straight Outta Compton. Earlier this year, there were reports that he will be reviving his ill-fated Detox album following his release from the hospital for a brain aneurysm. Aftermath producer DJ Silk previewed a new Dre track in February, with lyrics about his brain aneurysm and highly-publicized divorce from Nicole Young.
Speaking with DJ Khaled’s “The First One” podcast, Rick Ross also confirmed that the rap legend was cooking up new music. “He is working on his project, which is incredible, sonic. I’ve never heard a ni**a so meticulous with those ad-libs and shit like that, but that’s what you gotta love about Dre.”, he said.
