Jill Scott isn’t the first artist I would think to put on a song featuring a Bone Thugs flip, but she does a really great job of establishing the hazy, airy vibe, so props to her. I will say though, it’s interesting that though he is featured on the song, he doesn't have a songwriting credit.Ĭredit: Feature on “For The Love Of Money” He’s preeetttty much a legend so I’m not spending much time on him. Additionally, he is credited as the mix engineer on 10 of the 16 tracks.
#Dr dre compton full album 2015 mac
Except for a short hiatus from 2009 to 2014, Focus… has been with Aftermath since 2000 and has produced for the likes of Mac Dre, Christina Aguilera, The Game and Destiny’s Child just to name a few he has quite the diverse resume, eh? Next to Dre, he is also the most credited producer on Compton with songwriting and production credits on six songs. I’m surprised Dre put him on the album after all those years of being locked in his basement.Ĭredits: Six production credits (“Intro,” “Loose Cannons,” “Issues,” “Deep Water,” “One Shot on Kill” and “Medicine Man”)įocus… really seems like Dre’s protege. I’d love to know what he specifically did on the LP is he just a session player or does his involvement run deeper?Ĭredit: Songwriting credit on “Medicine Man” He produced "Gone." You can read an interview with him here where he talks all about it.Ĭredit: Writing credit on “"All in a Day's Work"”Īlso known as Danny Keyz, Tannenbaum is a singer/instrumentalist/producer who also has credits with RZA, Evidence, Eminem and Pink. Norman is Dorian Norman AKA D.R.U.G.S Beats. No idea.help!?! Update: Shoutout to the one and only Khrysis On The Boards who informed me that D. He has also wokred with Jon Connor before, so that may have been his ticket in.Ĭredit: Writing credit on "Darkside / Gone" While it may not quite make sense on paper, there is a heavy rock influence on the album - so Craig fits in well. One minute Craig Owens is perfoming as the lead singer of the punk/metal band Chiodos, the next he is doing covers of Selena Gomez songs, and then the next he’s appearing on Compton. He lends his knack for soulful soundscapes to “It’s All On Me,” which also happens to be one of my favorite efforts on the LP. I love how colorful and big their beats are, which is a style and sound that obviously fits well on Compton.Ĭredit: Production credit on "It's All on Me"īink! the the god, the genius, the mastermind behind “Devil In a New Dress,” my favorite beat of all-time. I also owe them four half-smokes for my first go-go song ever, Wale’s “ Ice Cream Girl." They have also produced for ScHoolboy, Tinashe, Skyzoo and more. As a DC native and Wale fan, I know their work very well. Julian Nixon and Craig Balmoris make up the dynamic duo that is Best Kept Secret. I really dig her work on “Just Another Day,” it really adds some color and energy to an otherwise gritty effort.īest Kept Secret (Julian Nixon & Craig Balmoris)Ĭredits: Production and writing credits on "Darkside / Gone" IT’S MOTHERFUCKING GAME TIME!!!!!! Asia Bryant is a singer from South Carolina who has appeared on DJBooth a few times and also had a credit on 2015’s Ludaversial. Fittingly, Dre has decided to conclude his three-act story not with the hilariously long-awaited Detox, but with Compton: A Soundtrack-a cinematic tribute to where the story first began.This is Dr. His music has always been more a chronicle of his journey than an ode to weed and sex, despite what many would think. and Eazy-E, one of the main reasons he elects to remind fans at every turn. For the majority of his career, Dre has seemed paranoid that the world will forget about the likes of him, the D.O.C. Years later, in the midst of various criticism, 2001 would function as a therapeutic rant session set to brilliant instrumentation. The iconic album cover is designed like a pack of rolling papers but most prominently features a portrait of a supremely self-assured Dre, wholly cognizant of how the music he's making will forever transform the genre.
Dre relies on ghostwriters for his raps, but his decision to name his 1992 debut solo album The Chronic might be the most ingenious use of a double entendre in hip-hop history.
