Dr. Dre release a new single - "Gunfiyah" and producing Track for Eminem latest album

Dr. Dre and “The Defiant Ones” former Interscope CEO Jimmy Iovine’s four-part HBO documentary debuted and Dre also premiered a new single during the broadcast. “Gunfiyah” just 2 minutes long , played during the first episode of the four-part documentary series. It's unclear whether "Gunfire" is a newly recorded track or an archival piece revived for the documentary project. The film includes interviews with the duo's numerous respective  collaborators, including Eminem, Bruce Springsteen, U2's Bono, Kendrick  Lamar, Patti Smith, Gwen Stefani, Ice Cube and Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor. The song is Dr. Dre's first since 2015 Compton, the pseudo-soundtrack to that year's N.W.A. biopic Straight Outta Compton.

But premiered via his Beats 1 show, The Pharmacy, a representative for the rapper told pitchfork that Dre does not plan to release the song. Mmm why.... ?

To their 2006 co-launch of Beats Electronics in 2006 and its $3 billion sale to Apple eight years later, handing over his headphone business to the digital giant. In the intervening years he has been relatively quiet on the music front. According to an interview with The Defiant Ones’ director Allen Hughes, however, the rapper and producer is working on several new musical projects. As well as his own material and what appears to be a collaboration with J Cole, Dre is back in the studio with Eminem for the latter’s ninth studio album. Dre, who had a large role in launching Eminem’s career, produced  his 1999 record The Real Slim Shady.

"Right now Dre producing, a track for Eminem’s  latest album,” Hughes revealed.

Hughes describes spending years working on the documentary and alludes  to the challenge in accurately depicting the “warts-and-all” story of  both music moguls. He also briefly mentions that Dre is currently “in  the 11th hour” producing tracks for Eminem’s next album.

Eminem made no secret of the difficulty he felt he faced being a white man trying to make it in black-dominated industry, but he managed to get signed by Dre and go on to become one of the world's best rappers.

In a past interview with Vibe Magazine, Dre revealed: "when I heard Em for  the first time, I didn't even know he was White. I just knew I wanted to  work with him. And that kind of actually made it better for me, because  it was so different".  

So Dre’s still real active in music,  you know ? It’s the truth....
