According to NME, Dre has an album in the works. Detox will be the good doctor’s first album of solo original material since 1999’s 2001.

Dre’s got a lot of friends (and, one presumes, a lot of people who owe him a favor or two), so the new album is littered with hip-hop heavyweights making guest appearances. Among them: Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes and Jay-Z. He told Los Angeles radio station Power 106, "I'm trying to get everybody that I've ever worked with over the years to appear on the record."

Dre went on to say that he’s putting a lot of pressure on himself with this album, recognizing how long he’s made fans wait for it. But, of course, Dre remains confident. “Trust me, this will be worth the wait--I'm trying to make this the one they remember me for … It's a lot of pressure but I'm feeling good about it. I feel like I'm my worst critic and if I'm loving it, everyone else will.”

No release date has been scheduled yet, but, according to the man himself, it will be out by the end of this year.
