Dr. Dre’s “Under Pressure” is Dropping on Friday

The Detox single featuring Jay-Z is supposed to drop on Friday, that’s of course if Dre doesn’t decide to pull a Dr. Dre. It is indeed an upbeat club record and Ester Dean wrote the hook. No word on if it was produced by Scott Storch yet, though he did recently reveal that he had been reunited with the good doctor. Via Nation @ Nah right

The Good Doctor speaks DETOX

While out making the rounds to promote his new $400 headphones, Dr. Dre is also making renewed promises about Detox.

He tells USA Today:
“I’m just now — over the last couple of months — starting to feel that it’s going to be right and it’s something I can be proud of, and everybody is going to love it,” says Dr. Dre (aka Andre Young). “In a perfect world, I’m shooting for a November or December release.”

“We have an entirely new thing going with the drums that’s incredible, and we’re still developing that.” All “the usual suspects” will make guest appearances, including Nas, Jay-Z and Lil Wayne.

As long as the wait for the upcoming album has been, Dre says it’ll be even longer before there’s another one. “I’m going to put this record out, promote it, tour and then become a hermit. I’m going to stay in the studio and produce.” -Nahright & USA today
