Update: The album’s official title is Compton A Soundtrack by Dr. Dre, and it’s out on Aftermath/Interscope. It’s available for pre-order on iTunes. Find the album cover and tracklist below.

Update #2: Listen to the full episode of “The Pharmacy With Dr. Dre” here on Apple Music’s Connect.

Dr. Dre has announced Compton: The Soundtrack, inspired by his work on Straight Outta Compton, the upcoming N.W.A. biopic. The album is out August 7, exclusively on iTunes’ Apple Music.

Dre made the announcement on his Beats 1 radio show “The Pharmacy”. He was joined on today’s episode by Ice Cube and Straight Outta Compton director F. Gary Gray.

The album was first revealed by Ice Cube, who also reiterated that a planned N.W.A. reunion tour might be happening. Recently, a representative for Dre and Eminem (who is also rumored to partake in the reunion) denied that anything was in the works.

The album comes on the heels of the wait for Detox, Dre’s long-gestating follow-up to 1999’s The Chronic 2001. After releasing singles such as “Kush” and “I Need a Doctor”, and teasing a February 2011 release, nothing happened. Last summer, reports emerged that Dre had dropped the Detox name entirely. Now, Dre has revealed that he scrapped Detox because he was not happy with it:

I didn’t like it. It wasn’t good. The record, it just wasn’t good. … I worked my ass off on it, and I don’t think I did a good enough job.

Straight Outta Compton is in theaters August 14. Watch the trailer below.
