LOS ANGELES, CA (CelebrityAccess) – Iconic hip-hop producer and rapper, Dr. Dre has released six new songs on a multitude of streaming services, courtesy of the video game, Grand Theft Auto (GTA).
In December, GTA and Dr. Dre joined forces in order to debut his first new material in six years through the game’s online expansion pack, The Contract. Dre, starring as himself in the expansion, tasked players with retrieving the Aftermath founder’s stolen phone containing unreleased music that could be heard exclusively in-game only. Two months later, the tracks have arrived on Apple Music, TIDAL, YouTube, Spotify et al.
