Detox Might Not Be A Lost Cause After All

Fans have been waiting for Dr. Dre to drop Detox for over a decade. That wait was seemingly over in 2015, when the super-producer announced that he had officially scrapped the project since he wasn’t pleased with how it was turning out. Not only that, but he finally dropped another project that year, Compton, which was even more reason to believe Detox was no longer happening. All that is fine and dandy, but now Dre’s supporters have reason to believe that hopes of the project that never was could once again be ignited.

ESPN reported Chris Hayes just happened to bump into the Dr. at a Golden State Warriors practice, and being a fan like the rest of us, he just had to ask the all important Detox question. Hayes tweeted about the encounter to share his exciting news with his followers on Tuesday.

There you have it. This answer from Dre is surprising considering how adamant he was about the project being completely out of the question just a few years ago–maybe he was just being polite for conversation’s sake. Either way, it’s good to hear that Dr. Dre is working on some new music. Whether his next venture is the long-awaited Detox or something completely different, we’re still here for it.
