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.”
