Adding the Dre's albums that were to be, but never happened, among them King Tee, Hittman, the NWA reunion album, the Timbaland/Dre colabo album, and the Snoop/Dre reunion album, an insider at Aftermath as been quoted to say, "dont look for ra's album to come out any time soon. the label will release brooklyn next.she is tight, but new , so its a risk for the label. if shes not successful, the label will follow with a sure thing to get back on track, that means dre"s and cube's album.ive seen and heard ra's new ****. he is the best on the mic,besides em, that this label has. but his album is also risky because he's not mainstream, or popular with the new generation.his album, which the most incredible sounds youll ever hear,wont be out for prolly 2 years now, its just not a priority.give it 2 years, dont hold your breathe,(trust me) "
