Dr. Dre’s forthcoming album, Compton: A Soundtrack By Dr. Dre, is slated to feature a variety of artists. The Aftermath founder brought in rappers and singers from across the country who range in experience from decades of albums to a handful of recent mixtapes. MTV analyzed the features on the project in a list of “19 Reasons We’re Excited for Dr. Dre’s ‘Compton.'”
Ice Cube is listed on the tracklist for one song with a feature from Anderson Paak, a Ventura City, California singer who is listed on six tracks.
The news outlet says that since Dre said he was inspired by the N.W.A film Straight Outta Compton, the Cube collaboration is common sense.
“How could you even imagine this LP without Cube’s input?” MTV says. “The two made history as members of The World’s Most Dangerous Group and as solo artists. And now, the Natural Born Killaz return on ‘Issues,’ off the forthcoming project.”
Jon Connor is credited with his own cut on the album and also appears as a featured artist on “For the Love of Money.” The rapper signed with Dr. Dre’s Aftermath label in 2013.
“The Michigan MC has been grinding for years on his Aftermath material ever since signing with Dr. Dre’s imprint,” the article reads. “Well, it looks like some of that music will be unleashed through Compton: A Soundtrack.”
Kendrick Lamar has worked closely with Dr. Dre before and released his major label debut album, good kid m.A.A.d city with Aftermath. The fellow Compton emcee is listed on three songs on the album.
“We get another glimpse of what the mentor and his protege can do to influence the world from the left coast,” MTV says. “Can’t wait to hear what these two created in the lab.”

Incorrect info, Jon Connor is from Flint not that other city
Flint is in Michigan you god damn idiot
No way is this album gonna come even close to ‘chronic 2001’. It’ll be all singin n pop songs. Too bad none of those thousands of detox songs will ever come out because they would prolly blow this album away.
your just talking bullshit without knowing anything. I’m not saying itll be as good as past albums but I am doubtful itll be too much pop too. Your just talking negative bs cause your a Debbie downer and I hope you get herpes
There are too many features ( = bad album ) and it doesn’t have 50/G-Unit in it. 3.5/5 at best.
2001 was loaded with features and it was a pretty great album.
Do you even listen to Dre albums?
the album might be bad but you really wanna hear 50 cent on anything? He hasn’t been relevant in years. not to mention that he sucked after the massacre.
Guaranteed classic. I could give a fuck if it was ice jj fish on every hook. Dre beats. It’s over. Best album this year or the next 10. And I havnt even heard it yet.
Should have had the unit on there n made a 03 classic like grodt n beg for mercy days
Album will be mediocre
This is gonna be the best album ever dre got different sounds and every thing plus add dj premier it a rap.ice cube Kendrick and the em we been wanting back u can’t go wrong platinum.
They be doing MC Ren dirty asf. from the movie previews to the album.
I hope this shit don’t sound like an eminem record or like those last few mainstream songs Dre dropped a while back.. i wanna hear some classic Dre production like on Chronic 2001
