Now coming via Interscope who bought the physical distribution rights we are happy to get fresh copies of CDs and vinyl for you. Out on 21st April, the reissue is being handled by Interscope Records who worked on 'The Chronic' in 1992 (via Death Row Records). Yet The Chronic is first and foremost a party album, rooted not only in '70s funk and soul, but also that era's blue party comedy, particularly Dolemite. Dre’s solo career all started with the The Chronic, one of the most celebrated recordings of all time.

Dre used The Chronic to fire a few shots at former NWA member and Ruthless Records owner Eazy-E following an argument over money. It encompasses a record label, pressing plant and online magazine, and collaborates with artists and musicians to create stunning audio-visual shows. Working alongside my longtime colleagues, Steve Berman and John Janick, to re-release the album and make it available to fans all over the world is a full circle moment for me,” said Dr. The album is named after a slang term for high-grade cannabis, and its cover is an homage to Zig-Zag rolling papers. I knew of Dr Dre for many years but never bought any of his releases until this re-release of The Chronic.Originally released in 1992, 'The Chronic' featured early appearances from Snoop Dogg and marked Dre’s first solo release after parting ways with N.

Language - Regardless of country of origin all tracks are sung in English, unless otherwise stated in our description. There Is A Beautiful Ebb N' Flow To The Sound On The Chronic Here Especially To The More Layered Tracks On Side 1. We take our responsibility to Dre and his amazing body of work very seriously and we are honored to work closely with him on this re-release of one of the most important albums of all time. Featuring essential Dr Dre anthems including “Nuthin’ But A ‘G’ Thang” and “Fuck Wit Dre Day (And Everybody’s Celebratin’)”, The Chronic had an inimitable impact on the development of West Coast hip hop and provided an early platform to artists such as Snoop Dogg, Nate Dogg and Warren G.
