The money will fund a new performing arts and entertainment facility in his hometown.<\/p>\n<h2>Finally Returning To Music<\/h2>\n<p>Dr. Dre has kept busy: he is the founder and current CEO of Aftermath Entertainment and Beats Electronics. He has produced albums and overseen the music of rappers like Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Xzibit, 50 Cent, The Game, and Kendrick Lamar. The last album he released was 16 years ago. Four years ago he planned to release his album <i>Detox,<\/i>\u00a0but shelved it as the last minute.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>&#8220;This is something you&#8217;re not gonna hear many artists say,&#8221; <\/i>he said. <i>&#8220;The reason \u2018Detox\u2019 didn&#8217;t come out was because I didn&#8217;t like it. It wasn&#8217;t good. I&#8217;m gonna keep it all-the-way 1,000 with you, seriously. I worked my ass off on it, I don&#8217;t think I did a good enough job, and I couldn&#8217;t do that to my fans and I couldn&#8217;t do that to myself, to be perfectly honest with you.

Compton, California is a well-known city in U.S. pop culture; several hip hop groups and rappers come from the city. It is also known for being plagued by gangs, such as the Bloods, the Crips and the Sure\u00f1os. When Dr. Dre himself was young, he was forced to transfer schools due to gang violence.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8035\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8035\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-8035\" src=\"https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/08\/CLd9rvYXAAAqq6z.jpg\" alt=\"source\" width=\"700\" height=\"477\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/08\/CLd9rvYXAAAqq6z.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/08\/CLd9rvYXAAAqq6z-440x300.jpg 440w, https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/08\/CLd9rvYXAAAqq6z-85x58.jpg 85w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8035\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/CLd9rvYXAAAqq6z.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Proud Of His Work<\/h2>\n<p>The album is being released on August 7th.
