Dr. Dre’s Detox is still awaiting release, as fans continue to clamor for details on the long-delayed project. Producer Soopafly recently shared that he was back on the fabled project after being fired by Dr. Dre earlier in the recording of the album. Soopfly still had very little specifics to reveal regarding the songs and production on the project, however.

“We just coming in, as far as Snoop Dogg and Tha Dogg Pound, and making sure it got that finishing touch on it,” Soopfly said of his work on the album. “It sounds good. I haven’t even personally worked on anything yet. Dre’s a perfectionist, so he takes his time. But, I listened to a lot of stuff [and] it sounds good. That’s all I’ma say.”

There is still no official release date for Detox, despite a few singles being released earlier this year. The project has infamously been in the works for over a decade.

Southern rap godfather and UGK alum Bun B shared his thoughts on his upcoming Trill O.G. album, and revealed that, despite what seems to be a widening generation gap in hip-hop, he still finds inspiration in today’s music. “I just feel like this is the time when everybody needs something to motivate and inspire [them],” Bun explained. “I’m listening to Drake, i’m listening to Rick Ross. I’m listening to different people out here making music and [its] inspiring me.”

“I wanna make sure that i’m contributing to the game right now,” the rapper added. “We can’t just paint by numbers and phone it, we gotta activate this movement right now. For me, with UGK and everything that we’ve built up to this point, I feel like I have to put everything I got towards what we got going right now. I think we did a good job with this album.”

With Trill O.G. featuring posthumous appearances from his UGK partner Pimp C and the legendary 2Pac, a Notorious B.I.G. sample, Run-D.M.C. quotes and production from Gang Starr’s DJ Premier alongside guest appearances from Drake and Gucci Mane, there’s a subtle feeling that Bun crafted the album as a tribute to hip hop of yesterday and today. “In the process of this album, we saw there was opportunities to merge worlds. as far as the music that made me and the music that people are making today that’s inspired me. we had moments where we brought all these worlds together. As long as you’re keeping it trill, the public will appreciate it.”

Trill O.G. hits stores August 3rd.

Rapper Praises Fans, Talks Goodie MOB’s Future

Khujo Goodie’s unexpected arrest and even more unexpected release from prison seems to have rejuvenated the Atlanta rap veteran and his legendary crew, Goodie MOB. According to the rapper’s lawyer, Daniel Kane, Khujo, (born Willie Knighton Jr.), was convicted on three felony charges in two separate incidents: one for possession of a firearm and one for having marijuana in his possession. Due to a 1990 gun charge, prosecutors sentenced Khujo as a convicted felon. But the 1990 charge was legally void and, under the First Offender Act, should have been removed from Khujo?s record. This allowed Kane to get the rapper released from prison. “[That's] the Most High,” Khujo told HipHopBlog.com. “My family was with me. The Goodie MOB was with me. We went in there and showed them what was up, they gave me a bond and let me out.” The rapper was quick to credit fan support and his Dungeon Family partners for helping see him through the ordeal. “When times get tight, the family gets together,” he said. “Praise Jah.”

As far as the music, Khujo and his Goodie MOB bandmate Big Gipp assured fans that things are back on track now for the return of the beloved crew, who built their reputation in the mid-to-late 90s on the strength of two acclaimed LPs, Soul Food and Still Standing, that featured a socially-conscious and undeniably Southern point of view. “A lot of people have had their time and fun with the game, but its time for the elders to come back and lay the groundwork,” Gipp said. “If you know the Goodie MOB, you already know what we’re gonna come with. A lot of people out here are doing a lot music for a lot of different reasons; but if you can’t tour on your music, you ain’t said nothing. We’ll always be able to tour–for the rest of our life.”

“if it wasn’t for the type of music that we put out, I don’t think people would respect us like they respect us,” Khujo added. “Our thing is relating to the people; we’re just like the people. That’s who we are.” Gipp revealed, “We just released a mixtape called Stray Bullets, its got a Goodie MOB song on there called “Night Train.” Cee-Lo has a video coming for a song called “I Could’ve Loved You” featuring Eminem. We’re about to strategically start putting the album [together.] We’re not gonna discuss what label we’re on right now because we don’t want everybody bombarding them doors [laughs]. We just sitting back watching the news to see what we’re gonna come with.”

The world awaits.
