Detox is the title of the currently unfinished, "final" album by Dr. Dre. It was due for release in 2006, but has not yet been released and currently has no set release date. There have also been rumors that the famous producer had completed the album some time back but was not satisfied with it, and instead sold the beats to Aftermath Entertainment artist The Game. Dr. Dre wanted to concentrate on other artists such as The Game, Eve, Busta Rhymes and other numerous Aftermath Entertainment artists which is why at one point he said he would no longer be working on the fabled album any more, this has since changed and it is still in a speculated release date for sometime in 2007, though no official release date has been announced yet.
There have been numerous references to the anticipated album on tracks by artists who work under Dr. Dre on Aftermath Entertainment. In the latter part of Eminem's 'Encore/Curtains Down' track featuring Dr. Dre and 50 Cent, Eminem tells listeners "Aftermath 2006! And don't worry about that Detox album. It's coming. We're gonna make Dre do it." On The Documentary track "Higher" from West Coast rapper The Game, during Dre's one line in the song he tells people to "look out for Detox".
Some vague details have emerged since the album's conception, such as 50 Cent saying he hadn't yet recorded an appearance for the album, news that The D.O.C. will be writing for it, and that Aftermath-affiliated producers such as Kon Artis and Hi-Tek are working with Dre for the album. There was also a rumor that Diddy would make an appearance.
