The Dr. Dre GTA (Grand Theft Auto) Soundtrack Released

Fans of Dr. Dre and also the GTA franchise alike received excellent news today. The Dre GTA soundtrack The Contract is finally available.

In October 2021, FM Hip Hop bought you news of Dr. Dre’s team up with GTA. A lot was under wraps when we first reported. However, we had an inkling then that the project would be hot. Now we have the proof. Not only does the soundtrack include half a dozen tracks, but the choice of collaborators is also above the bar.

Dr. Dre For GTA (Grand Theft Auto)

Grand Theft Auto is a well-known video game franchise series. The tracks on former releases also add to the experience. Gamers can vibe as they play. Dr. Dre’s soundtrack will be a part of an online expansion offering. The name of the new release is entitled “The Contract.”

Not only does Dre provide the soundtrack for GTA, but he plays a role in the game. According to a source, Dre plays himself in the game. He has a challenge for players that will permit them to unlock audio goodies.

Dre’s Back?

This project marks the revival of Dr. Dre. He has been low-key for six years before this project. No doubt, the artist was taking the time he needed to take his studio magic to the next level. However, he’s had more in the works. Not only was Dre producing a stellar soundtrack for GTA, but he was also organizing the Super Bowl halftime show.

GTA’s The Contract Playlist By Dre

Dre’s playlist for GTA The Contract is now streaming on many platforms. Those who grab themselves a copy will be treated to an eargasm by some of Hip-Hop’s top tier. Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes, Eminem, and Andersen. Paak are a few of the collaborators given mention. With those names alone, there is no need to reveal the rest. However, a worthy tribute is the “Diamond Mind” track featuring the late Nipsey Hussle and Ty Dolla $ign. All we can say is, wow!

Other Matters

So check out streaming platforms for Dr. Dre’s The Contract GTA special. Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, and YouTube, to name a few. Of course, it doesn’t hurt the release dropped in time for the Super Bowl. Dre’s halftime show promises to be something for the hip-hop history books. Mary J. Blige, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, and Kendrick Lamar are slated to perform. Can we say wow factor? Word is Kendrick Lamar might have a track releasing soon as well. So stay tuned. FM Hip Hop will keep you informed.

Dr. Dre Reportedly Making New Music for Upcoming ‘Grand Theft Auto’ Game

Dr. Dre in the Studio

Back in 2015, Dr. Dre’s long-anticipated third album, Compton, was released alongside the N.W.A. biopic  “Straight Outta Compton,” and it appears that his next project will yet again be linked to another blockbuster media franchise. It’s only fitting that longtime Dre collaborator Snoop Dogg should deliver some of the most important news of the day. Dr. Dre reportedly is working on new music for a future Grand Theft Auto game, according to Snoop.

Snoop Dogg announced the news on the Rolling Stone Music Now Podcast as a guest. Snoop Dogg said in an episode set to air on Friday, “I do know [Dr. Dre] is in the studio… I do know he’s making great f***ing music. And some of his music is connected to the GTA game that’s coming out. So I think that that will be the way that his music will be released, through the GTA video game.”

Snoop did not specify which Grand Theft Auto game Dr. Dre is composing music for, but Rockstar Games is currently working on two new installments in the storied franchise. On November 11, Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy (which includes remastered versions of GTA III, Vice City, and San Andreas) will be released, followed by an “expanded and enhanced” next-gen edition of GTA V (which already has an appearance by Dre) in March 2022. In 2005’s ‘Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas’, Dr. Dre was featured on the radio stations, however, those were previously released tracks.

The Aftermath Takeover is Imminent

Both albums are set to be released in February, just in time for Dr. Dre’s appearance at the Super Bowl LVI halftime show alongside Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, and Mary J. Blige. There are plenty of other reasons to anticipate Dr. Dre’s comeback. Flavor Flav of Public Enemy claimed in August that Dre’s next album is “getting ready to come out” featuring a guest appearance from him, while DJ Battlecat of the West Coast hinted at new Dre music arriving in December.

Meanwhile, Snoop Dogg is preparing to release The Algorithm, his new album, on November 12. The collection CD will feature Busta Rhymes, Jadakiss, Mary J. Blige, Method Man, Redman, Benny The Butcher, Fabolous, Dave East, and others, and will mark Snoop’s debut on Def Jam, where he was named an executive earlier this year. Aftermath’s anticipated “takeover” appears to begin with The Algorithm, with new albums from Kendrick Lamar, Xzibit, and Mt. Rushmore — the West Coast supergroup made up of Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, Too $hort, and E-40 — to follow.
