The album, which boasts quite a few guest stars (Snoop and Eminem just to name a few), is one of those premieres that can make Apple Music the killer music streaming service on the planet. The album officially drops tomorrow, the 7th, but this early stream has music fans in a tizzy.
Its Dr. Dre’s first in 16 years, out in support of the new N.W.A biopic Straight Outta Compton, with proceeds being used to fund an arts center in Compton.
The stream starts tonight at 6pm PT and runs for three hours. If you’re looking for something to listen to, you’re all set tonight.
UPDATE: The streaming has started early, have at it!
