Rap mogul Dr. Dre will release his first album in nearly 16 years to
accompany a film on his former band N.W.A. and hinted the record would
be his last.
Dr.
Dre -- who has become one of music's richest businesspeople and works
with Apple -- said the album would come out on August 7, a week before
the biopic "Straight Outta Compton" opens in US cinemas.
The album
will feature collaborations with his protege Eminem, former N.W.A.
bandmate Ice Cube and fellow Los Angeles-area rap giants Kendrick Lamar
and Snoop Dogg, according to the pre-order information on Apple's
iTunes.
The rapper, whose birth name is Andre Romelle Young, said
he decided to record the album -- entitled "Compton: A Soundtrack by Dr.
Dre" -- during the filming of "Straight Outta Compton."
