Earlier the same day in an interview with Power 99FM, Ice Cube had preemptively announced the album. During the same episode, Dre announced that he would be releasing a brand-new album, entitled Compton, on August 7 on iTunes and Apple Music, with a physical release following on August 21. He stated that the album did not meet his standards and had decided to scrap the project as a result. Upon its release, Compton received acclaim from music critics.įollowing 11 years of unsuccessful work on his infamous Detox album, Dre officially canceled the project on August 1, 2015, during an episode of his Beats 1 radio show, The Pharmacy with Dr. The album debuted at number 2 on the US Billboard 200, selling 295,000 album-equivalent units in its first week.

Compton features guest appearances from Anderson. Dre himself, Focus., Dem Jointz, Trevor Lawrence, Jr., DJ Dahi, Cardiak and Theron Feemster, among others. Production for the album took place with Detox, but the album itself was devised when production of the N.W.A biographical film Straight Outta Compton gave Dre the idea for a soundtrack, with album specific production taking place in 2013–2015 at several recording studios and was handled by a variety of high-profile record producers, including Dr. It is the follow-up to his second album 2001 (1999) after the cancellation of the long-planned Detox.
