Take a Glimpse at Upcoming CD Releases

A list that I view every few months is the upcoming CD releases to see what’s coming down the album pipe.

Personally, I’m most looking forward for Dr. Dre’s Detox, which is set to release sometime this year.  Detox should be Dr. Dre’s final album and one that will step aside from the norm.  In a 2002 interview with MTV, Dre stated:

“I’m not talking about lowriders and blunts and all that anymore,  I mean, that’s played. As a matter of fact, I’m tired of hearing other people talk about it, to tell you the truth.  I had to come up with something different but still keep it hardcore, so what I decided to do was make my album one story about one person and just do the record through a character’s eyes,  And everybody that appears on my album is going to be a character, so it’s basically going to be a hip-hop musical.”

Don’t know if this is officially from Dr. Dre, but here’s a teaser video promoting the album:
