Dr Dre To Release 'Detox' On April 20

January 18, 2011

Dr Dre has hinted that he is set to release his much-anticipated new album 'Detox' on April 20.

In a video message posted by producer Just Blaze on Twitter, the rapper and producer can be seen revealing the date to camera.

"4/20 baby. 4/20, I'm coming,” Dr Dre tells viewers.

If confirmed, the release date means 'Detox' would arrive on the same day as National Weed Day.

The album, which is the follow-up to 1999's '2001', was originally due out in 2004, but has been hits by a series of delays.
