Dr. Dre’s highly anticipated and oft-delayed new album is done, according to Page Kennedy.

The mastermind behind many beats and rappers alike in the 1990s and beyond, Dr. Dre is apparently finished with his latest album. As respected and revered as he is in the rap game it might be surprising to many that he’s only ever released three solo albums in 1992, 1999, and 2015.

His reputation as a perfectionist when it comes to music is well known and so fans are almost certain that if this latest album is eventually released they can expect a well-produced work of art. We say if it’s released because at least two projects that Dre teased haven’t been. One was called Detox and the other Planets.

Though still not confirmed that this one will be released, apparently Detroit rapper, actor, and comedian Page Kennedy has revealed that he’s heard some of the new music from Dre. He also indicated that based on what he heard there may be an entire album in the works.

On November 16 he Tweeted: “This Dr. Dre album sounding. Hope y’all get to hear ?,” which elicited numerous responses from Twitter fans like, “Damn man… you can’t do this to us. We been within WAY to long. It’s kinda sh*tty to just put that out there with now info on a release date, or even IF it’s gonna be released,” and “Don’t play with my emotion like this. I just want to hear a new Dre album full of bangers.”

As fans began to ask more questions about the project Page indicated that Eminem is also on the album. Rap fans know that the two usually support each other’s musical endeavors. Another clue that the album may be for real is the fact that Dre has been seen at many different studios in sessions with various artists like Busta Rhymes, and even Quavo. There’s no definitive word as to when it will be released but fans are clamoring to hear from the master producer once again and the hope is that this one doesn’t get shelved as well.
