Yet another unauthorized leak to the airwaves have struck. This time, it’s DJ Envy who leaked the apparent Dre track on a New York radio station. The unfinished, unmastered “Topless” track starts with T.I. and a reference to the Doc. “It’s the D.R.,” Tip raps. “Made the West side worldwide, no PR/ Gangsta-rap god, I’m the end all, be all/ California love from the Bloods to the C-Dogs.” At this time, it is unknown which album the track will end up on, if any.

In a recent interview with Nas, he revealed that he has recorded a track with Dr. Dre for Detox. He had this to say about it;
“I did a joint. I think it’s crazy,” Nas says of working with Dre. “He’s someone I’d love to do a whole album with one day. He’s incredible. I think he’s the best producer of all time.”

From Busta Rhymes 8th Studio album “Back On My B.S.” comes the first track to become available, called “Decisions”. A star studded line-up join Busta on the track including Mary J. Blige, Jamie Foxx, Common and John Legend. The track is produced by Dr. Dre which marks the 4th track either being released or leaked in 2009 by Dre. This is widely unexpected because of the lack of productions that we saw in 2008 where a total of 1 track was released.

The album is due in stores March 24th, 2009.

A track that featured Bishop Lamont, 50 Cent & a hook by R. Kelly has been leaked on the internet. The track could be the first listen to an album 10 years in the making, Detox.  Interscope and Dr. Dre have not commented on the leak but sources close to Dre said that he is angry that the track leaked so early mainly because it’s not mixed and mastered.

The track doesn’t exactly have a signature Dre sound to it, and is not what you would expected to hear.  The track doesn’t have a vibe of a West Coast or a gangster rap sound. I come away after listening to it somewhat disappointed. I take it as a solid beat, that has a hint of R&B but it certainly doesn’t make the statement I was hoping for from the first potential Detox track.

This marks the third Dr. Dre produced track to hit the web in the past three days.

[UPDATE, 1/13/09]

In an interview with 50 Cent yesterday, the rapper says that the track that was leaked was recorded over 2 years ago. I’d assume that the track won’t be a part of Detox with the leak coming so far in advance of the album.

A few noteworthy things about the tracklisting.

- Dr. Dre is producing and is featured lyricly in “Ready for War”

- Dr. Dre is producing a total of 4 tracks.

-Eminem is producing 2 tracks and is featured in 1.

-Nate Dogg is featured in track 5 “Here for a Reason”, which marks his first appearance on an album since he had 2 strokes in 2008. Akon somehow tried to replace him as the new hook master, but I’m sure Nate will come back with a vengence.
