Ice Cube Says Dr. Dre Is Releasing "An Album Inspired By Compton" Later This Week

The promotion for the upcoming film, Straight Outta Compton, is in full gear, and during a radio interview this morning, Ice Cube revealed some major info about the soundtrack for the film that Dr. Dre put together. 

Cube actually referred to the project as an inspired album, rather than a soundtrack and said that it's actually dropping later this week on August 1. "Actually, Dre is dropping an inspired album, inspired by Compton. He’s dropping something on August 1," Cube said.

Previously, it was revealed that Kendrick Lamar and Eminem would be featured on the album, though no other details were announced leading up to the release of the film next month. As for the potential N.W.A. reunion tour with Eminem? 

Straight Outta Compton stars O’Shea Jackson Jr. playing his father Ice Cube, Corey Hawkins as Dr. Dre, Jason Mitchell as Eazy-E, and Paul Giamatti as the group’s manager, Jerry Heller. It hits theaters August 14th.
