--- Quote --- Dr Dre releases new track Gunfire
Rapper shares a new track featured on HBO documentary series The Defiant Ones, and is reportedly collaborating with Eminem on new material
A new track by Dr Dre has been unveiled. Gunfire - also spelt Gunfiyah - is his first new material since Compton in 2015, and will feature in the fourth episode of the new HBO documentary series The Defiant Ones, which explores Dre and mogul Jimmy Iovine's careers.
A stormy, triumphant track, Dre fires off his story of survival and success: "Who got a hit just like this? And got heart and rich like this?/ Never failed, 20 years and he still got grip like this," he raps on the track
Premiered via his Beats 1 show, The Pharmacy, a representative for the rapper told Pitchfork that Dre does not plan to release the song. The episode it is featured on will air on 14 July, but is streaming now on HBO Go and HBO Now.
In 2014, the rapper made a record-breaking $3bn Beats By Dre deal with Apple, handing over his headphone business to the digital giant. In the intervening years he has been relatively quiet on the music front, Compton being Dre's first solo album in 16 years.
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. The pair most recently worked together on the 2010 album Recovery.
"Right now he's producing, in the 11th hour, a track for Eminem's latest album," Hughes revealed. "So Dre's still real active in music, you know? It's the truth."

Ugh this dre style is so annoying.
me1:
Not heavy into the production but the verses and chorus are nice.
At this point I don't even want dre behind the mic. I want his production, end of story. And I think we'll get that from him til
The day he dies
Matty:
nah this aint the one. having watched the documentary it makes more sense why detox never materialized and compton wasn't that great. these days dre seems kinda strained producing for himself.
sofdark:
Apparently there is another Dr. Dre song called Snake Charmer that was on the credit at the end. Did anyone catch how this one sounded like?
