Dr Dre New Album 'Detox' Is An 'Epic'

August 24, 2010

Dr Dre's new album 'Detox' has been described as “epic” by one of his labelmates.

Fellow rapper Lloyd Banks is one of the few people to hear the long-awaited album, which has been hit by a number of delays.

“It’s history, it’s classic, it’s epic. It’s like L.A. stand up, it’s like West Coast,” he told Rap-Up.

Banks's comments follow the recent leak of another song from 'Detox'. The track, entitled 'Turn Me On', appeared online earlier this month.

In June, the Jay-Z-featuring 'Under Pressure' also appeared on various file-sharing websites.

'Detox' is Dr Dre's long-awaited follow-up to his 1999 album, '2001', and is expected to arrive later this year.

Meanwhile, the rapper and producer recently revealed that he was also working on an instrumental hip-hop album.
